[JYO] FAA makes long-awaited changes to Washington and New York no-fly zones

FAA makes long-awaited changes to Washington and New York no-fly zones

— In a notam issued late Thursday night that went 
into effect immediately, the FAA began allowing some general aviation 
operations within an 18- to 25-nautical-mile radius of the DCA and JFK VORs. 
That effectively reduces the size of the Washington and New York "no fly" 
zones.
