One story from one of the former photo mission pilots was kinda funny. Back when the first president Bush was POTUS, he decided to change destinations while in flight. That puts up a temporary flight restriction in the area. As a pilot they are required to know about it. Back then, if there was no restriction before he took off, that was all the pilot could do. There was no way to know in a 206, that the new TFR was in effect. Our pilot clipped the edge of the TFR as he was "mowing the lawn" on a mission. He had the flaps down a bit to get the ground speed lower, and was flying along slowly in a straight line, when a F-16 came screaming past standing on it's tail. Then he saw a second F-16.

He said he was tempted to lower his flaps and get to just above stall speed to see the air show of F-16s trying to do 100 knots ground speed, but he just finished his flight line. Ground control contacted him, and asked him to land at some large busy airport, and he told them no, I am heading to my home airport, just a few miles away. He told them they can find him at the fuel pumps.

He was fueling up so he had full tanks ready to go in the morning. The FBI, and the FAA pulled up. And asked a lot of silly questions. He said he took off long before the flight restriction was put up. In the end, they essentially shook their finger at him, and agreed there was a legit reason for him to be there, and he was OK.

Now with ADS-B our airplane would know about some new temporary restriction, and we could avoid the area.
