Yea, There were a lot of rumors flying about it though.

I actually was in the air on the 3rd day in the company plane. I got permission from the white house. The second controller didn't think too highly of it. I was the only civilian bird allowed to fly. He turned me around and chewed me out. The next day, we were back, had permission again, and when he got ticked, I gave him the number and name I was given and I never had any more trouble. They started letting airlines and air taxies fly within the next few days. It was actually quite strange being the only bird in the air. I kept waiting for the F-16 to come get me. We were doing time sensitive gov't contract work and they wanted to keep us in the air. Was quite an interesting period.
