The Detroit Zoo's Water Tower Gets New Graphics (Oct2024)
The Detroit Zoological Park straddles the cities of Huntington Woods and Royal Oak. The zoo built its water tower in 1928 when it relocated from Detroit to its current property in the northern suburbs.
Beyond water storage the tower became an iconic feature serving as the zoo's de facto billboard. It had a capacity of 500,000 gallons. The tower was decommissioned from the water system in 1984. But it has since remained a fixture at the corner of Woodward Avenue and 10 Mile Rd. It is visible to traffic on the I-696 freeway and countless neighborhoods in the cities of Huntington Woods, Royal Oak, Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, Birmingham and Berkley.
When the zoo refreshed its branding in 2023 plans were already underway to include the water tower's graphics. The current look is the fourth iteration of the tower's appearance.

This NOTAM also applies to Nascar Sprint Cup, Indy Car, and Champ Series races excluding qualifying and pre-race events. Flights conducted for operational purposes of any event, stadium or venue and broadcast coverage for the broadcast rights holder are authorized with an approved airspace waiver.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and NOTAM 4/3621 UAS are “aircraft” that are subject to NOTAM 4/3621 and applicable FAA safety regulations. LEOs should attempt to find the operator of the UAS, provide them with the language of the NOTAM, and advise them that they are subject to the NOTAM and FAA safety regulations. Collect the following information: Name, Address, Phone number of the operator. Date, Location, Event, Altitude and type or model of the UAS. Witness statements and photos if possible. Was there any endangerment to persons or property on the ground? Was there any interference with aircraft in flight? Does the operator hold an FAA pilot certificate? Is this a commercial operation? Criminal Charges that may possibly be applied include: reckless endangerment, operation of a motor vehicle while under the influence, trespass and assault. Consult Local, State & County Codes. Report the above information to the appropriate FAA Regional Operations Center

      Of course. Checking NOTAMs is key. But not difficult. Especially when using flight software that disallows operating within a TFR in the first place. Sometimes TFRs render an entire city or a downtown off-limits. Others TFRs are more focused making some visibility possible from the periphery.
