Think a lot of fuss went into your wedding? Well, was the airspace above your reception deemed a no-fly zone?
That’s what the Federal Aviation Administration said will happen above the site of Chelsea Clinton’s much-hyped wedding to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky this Saturday in Rhinebeck, N.Y. Residents of the upstate town are abuzz about the nuptials, posting congratulatory signs and chatting to local media. But if they were planning on getting a bird’s-eye helicopter view of the ceremony, they’re out of luck.
According to the New York Times, the FAA often bans flights around certain areas at the Secret Service’s request, if there is enough of a security risk. And when your mother is secretary of state and your father is a former president, the FAA might not be overreacting on this one.
