*************************

In the United States, the phrase "no-fly zone" has no legal meaning. What most people would consider a "no-fly zone" is termed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) a "Prohibited Area". Prohibited Areas are permanent until canceled and are published in the Federal Register and at http://sua.faa.gov, and are depicted by blue hashed boundaries on aeronautical charts.

Active Prohibited Areas:

Thurmont, Maryland, site of Presidential retreat Camp David (Prohibited Area 40 or P-40)

Amarillo, Texas, Pantex nuclear assembly plant (P-47)

Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia (P-50)

Naval Base Kitsap, Washington (P-51)

Washington, D.C., Capitol and White House (P-56); Please see Other restrictions for information about all Active Prohibited Areas in the Washington D.C./Baltimore Flight Restricted Zone.

Bush compound near Kennebunkport, Maine (P-67)

Mount Vernon, Virginia, home of George Washington (to prevent vibrations) (P-73)

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota (P-204, 205, and 206)

Merritt Island, Florida. All civilian flight operations in and around the island are prohibited due to NASA and U.S. military operations at the Kennedy Space Center.

Walt Disney World Resort, in Central Florida (near Orlando). The zone extends to 3,000 feet (910 metres) in a 3-nautical-mile (5.6-kilometre) radius over the theme park area. Though implemented for security according to the
FAA, the decision has been controversial.<11> In 2003, a conservative Christian group filed a lawsuit claiming that the ruling infringed on its First Amendment right to fly banners to proselytize to visitors during the unofficial Gay Days at Walt Disney World.<12>

1. Ya can't fly there because of the stench.

I think it was issued by the EPA.

2. I have flown over both D World and D Land in helos.

The reason for the large radius is to keep people from taking pictures.

From the air, the places look like junkyards with really clean streets.
