We are here on behalf of the Continental U.S. NORAD Region’s
(CONR) commander, Lt Gen Stanley Clarke, to advise our fellow Chicago-area
aviators of the upcoming flight restrictions in support of the NATO Summit
scheduled for 20-21 May.
The FAA is implementing special airspace control measures to
help ensure the safety and security for the NATO Summit.
CONR asks fellow aviators in the Chicago general aviation community to “Check
NOTAMs and Fly Informed”. Aviators
should visit www.faa.gov for the latest airspace information.
CONR coordinates all flight operations with local, state, and
federal agencies, especially the FAA, to keep all airspace safe and secure from
air threats.
CONR has extensive experience protecting special events such
as Super Bowls, political conventions, United Nations General Assemblies,
SOTUAs and other events as required.
Though you may not see CONR fighters, they will be on duty
during the summit.
CONR possesses well-developed rules of engagement and
skilled, dedicated aircrews and we are trained and equipped to execute this
mission.
We need your help; please report suspicious air-related
activities/persons to your local law enforcement.The help of the general aviation community is essential in
getting our message out to our fellow aviators.
Thank you for your support.
