I don't know. But this guy also said this plane was too small to carry enough to penetrate.

He said that a plane that small would be used for bio weapons, so you don't want people out in the park...

He also pointed out that there is a certain arrogance among those rich enough to afford flying that encourages rules as for "other people"...I can relate to that. Martha Stewart aloft.

Wow. Cessna 150/152 crashed into WH at 4 a.m. during Clinton's reign.

You do have interesting relatives.

I can't imagine that anyone from the Lancaster area would not be familiar with the airspace, and the landmarks in that area.

One would think a pilot couldnt get his wings until he at least knew where NOT to fly.

Years ago the rough motorcycle gang (I think it was the Hell's Angels group) bought a lot of land and farm houses in Lancaster Co. and set up headquarters. Then later it became a main thruway for drug running. Lancaster is a beautiful, peaceful, rolling countryside. Lots of area to cover. It is most famous, of course, for the Amish and Mennonites and a big tourist mecca. But there is definately a strong undercurrent of crime. I would not be surprised if there are some "cells" there of terrorists or people with an agenda against our government.

Is the pilot still in the plane or have they taken him to interrogation room 2?

We are so foolish, we even give terrorists benefit of the doubt.

Secrete Service:
Better send a plane up to investigate there's someone in the White House air space.

Military:
Uh, sir, it's too late, he just dropped a nuke.

Secret Service:
Well, the good news is last week we didn't shoot that one guy out of the air.

Sorry, Grace, but you need to keep the BS outta your story if you want to maintain your veracity. "Had him from 100 miles out" - BS, pure BS.

"They couldn't attack us today because of the clouds. (It also messes up my GPS system. It can't get through heavy cloudcover)."

I hate to penetrate your thin veneer of comfort, but I have seen accuracy down to 9 feet on a rainy day with my Garmin Vista... and that's just a handheld. The aviation models are even more stable.

GUY turned back into no fly zone after the flares...he alone is to blame. Seriously that is probably what triggered the RUN order...

Another great job by our pilots doing their job.

Amen. I live within 30 miles of the WH

Well, I guess just for you they could make it 30 mi. Unfortunately, I have to live with rules that are a pain in the ass for me too.
