Hmmm. The two F-16s couldn't get his attention? They needed flares? Check that pilot's blood alcohol level

Release and watch.

A couple of years ago a pilot in the local area (near the Presidents Ranch in Crawford) went flying. Before he left the house his wife gave him "hell" about flying and told him he was to old to fly. He did not check his Notams and F-16s made him land at the Waco Airport which is close to Crawford. After the Secret Service determined he was not a threat he was taken back to his house by the Secret Service at which point his wife resumed her tirad against the unfortunate pilot. After enduring the wrath of his wife, his response to the Secret Service was, "Can I go back to Waco with you Boys?"

Sounds to me like that pilot needs to have his license pulled. They had to fire flares to get his attention? Kind of scary that he's flying the same sky as everyone else.

Pilots just love temporarily restricted air space!

ALWAYS, ALWAYS call for a briefing from Flight Service before departing. They have the latest TFRs and a briefing covers your ass if you inadvertently blunder into a 'pop-up'. The number is 1-800-WX-BRIEF.

Or, check to see if his aircraft has a radio, maybe? A little common sense is in order here. Many aircraft don't have electrical systems.

However, pilot error for not knowing the TFRs because if he would have called a flight briefer before launch they would have told him. A flight plan would be a good idea also.
