July 21, 2003 (by Lieven Dewitte) - The Air Force reported that two F-16 jets released flares over Bush's Crawford ranch just after noon on Sunday to warn a private pilot of the restricted airspace.
Bush was hosting Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi at his 1,600-acre ranch west of Waco.

Many flight restrictions resulted from the president's flights to fund raisers. Flight operations at 70 Texas airports were affected by Bush's visit to Crawford, Houston and Dallas over the weekend.
