The tfr for the chicago airshow ended at 4pm, but dji has not removed the nfz.
This tfr is 9am to 4pm fri, sat, and sun, but dji has locked out the whole weekend making lawful flight in chicago impossible. This is a bunch of hogwash and makes commercial operations impossible.

Just a quick question.  I'm in the same time zone (Central Time) and you posted this about noonish on Saturday.  You said the TFR is from 9-4 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Noon on Saturday would have still had the TFR in effect.  And if the TFR is in effect, then there is no Lawful flights unless you meet the FAA Requirements.  (Transponder, Radio Clearance...)  

Or did you list the wrong times??

I attempted flights at 4:05pm through 4:45pm to no avail. I have unlocked the tfr via dji geo website so I can attempt flights at 5am through 8am tomorrow, and on that site I saw that dji lists the tfr as one big tfr for the weekend, it is actually 4 separate tfrs

I'm not sure where anyone has indicated "noon"

Where did that come from?

Again to clarify, noon is your presumption, and incorrect. The flight attempts were not during any active tfr, thanks for your concern.

I first saw your post about noon time central time and it was labeled 40 minutes previous. Like I said, I'm in the same time zone.
