President Trump May Spend Summer Vacation In Bedminster

BEDMINSTER, NJ — It appears President Donald Trump will be spending his 11-day summer vacation in Bedminster.

The Federal Aviation Association issued a VIP Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) in the Bedminster area from Thursday, Aug. 2 through Monday, Aug. 13 and in Morristown for Aug. 2.

The White House has not confirmed Trump's summer vacation plans.

Trump has spent the last three weekends at Trump National Golf Club off Lamington Road in Bedminster. This upcoming vacation would be his sixth visit to the township this year.

The President spent last year's 18-day summer vacation in Bedminster as well, which local aviators said "devastated" local airports.

There are two major impacts when a VIP TFR is issued. First, there is a no-fly zone issued for anything within a 10 mile radius of Trump's National Golf Course in Bedminster.

This essentially shuts down airports such as Somerset Airport and Solberg-Hunterdon Airport in Whitehouse Station.

The second part of the TFR is the second ring, which impacts a much larger radius of airports. The second ring encompasses a 30-mile radius which includes 17 other airports such as Princeton Airport, Old Bridge Airport and Central Jersey Regional Airport in Hillsborough.

Flights within the 30-mile radius can still have aircrafts fly out of the airport to somewhere outside the ring or land from outside the ring to an airport inside.

However, all other operations are prohibited such as flight training, aerobatics, hot air ballooning, helicopters, skydiving, biplane rides and technically even flying a model airplane.
