I was planning to fly my
MA2 above my house to film the SpaceX Crew Dragon launch this happening in about an hour. However, when I checked for NOTAMs on 1800wxbrief.com, I discovered that my house is about 1 1/3 miles inside the temporary national defense no fly zone. ?
Here it is, just for laughs. The good parts are in red:
