OHHHHH That reminds me, A great lesson was learned last weekend. CHECK YOUR NOTAMS. I make the same damn flight from Dallas to Temple all the time. And the president has been in Waco before, well now they have decided to make it controlled airspace when he is around and you couldn't enter without a flight plan. So me and about 5 other planes were in holding patterns around Hillsboro for about 20 minutes waiting our turn to file flight plans. I heard they scrambled F-16's on 3 different occasions to "assist" people in communicating with ATC.
"praying to the SNA board gods couldn't hurt...."
