>>For the record, even if he'd gone to McDill, you would have been out of luck since McDill is less than 30nm away, which is what the Presidential No-Fly zone is.<<

Ah, sorry, no.
The so-called no fly zone is ten miles, and certificated air carriers are exempt, as are others, so designated.
In fact, I have departed a nearby airport in my private aeroplane just as POTUS was passing overhead, 3000 feet above.
Not all that unusual.
