Attempting New Orleans flyover

UPDATE: Well, we have been stopped from entering NO airspace. We are at a small airport - st. Johns air port. We are now going to try to work around.

Talk to you soon.

Hello All,

I am sitting at the Baton Rouge airport awaiting WFAA's chopper to arrive from Dallas. Reporter Bill Cappo from WWL and I are hoping to fly over New Orleans today for an assessment and to shoot fresh video of the fires in the area.

The airport is swamped with private helicopters from all over the country trying to get into NO to assess the damage to their businesses. As expected, tons of military aircraft are in and out of here.

Hopefully today we will have luck getting in and getting fresh pictures.

Bobby
