Another Island Retreat Covered By VIP TFR

This Time, It's For VP Biden's Trip To The Virgin Islands

The TFR mess just gets more and more restrictive by the day... with the island of Oahu having seen GA brought to its knees for nearly two weeks while the President visits -- restricting a huge 30 mile radius of an island landmark... and pretty much covering the island in the process.

Now, the Virgin Islands are in for similar treatment as VP Biden showed up Monday to start a vacation that will last until January 3rd. However; instead of the ponderously massive 30 NM restrictions seen in Hawaii, the VI area has to contend with only a 3 NM radius surrounding Biden's holiday retreat.
