Four of six aerial practice areas in the skies above Delaware Airpark are closed each time President Joe Biden flies home to Delaware. During those times, fledgling pilots in the Delaware State University Aviation Program, as well as other aviators leaving the airpark’s runway, are restricted to flying no more than 2 miles north of the airport. Aircraft can fly to the southwest of the airport, however, as two practice areas remain open in that area. DSU Aviation Program Chief Flight Instructor John Sherman said the altered flight paths have been a hindrance at times, but their impact hasn’t been overwhelming to this point.
