PAPAL 'NO FLY ZONE' GROUNDS PLANES FOR POTTSTOWN AIRPORT DAY
POTTSTOWN >> One might expect to see airplanes in the air during the annual Municipal Airport Day this Saturday, but that will not be the case.
And you can thank Pope Francis for that.
Organizers of Saturday’s affair announced Tuesday that due to a No Fly Zone — known as a “Temporary Flight Restriction” — being imposed by the Federal Aviation Administration in a 30-mile zone around Philadelphia, planes will be grounded during the annual event.
Pottstown Municipal Airport is right at the edge of that zone.
