CNN's Kelly Arena reports that one man is being held by Maryland State Police at an airport in Frederick, MD. The police are waiting for federal authorities to arrive on the scene.

The man is said to be the pilot of the small aircraft that triggered an evacuation of government buildings in downtown Washington when he reportedly violated restricted airspace.

Frederick, MD. is located about an hour northwest of Washington, D.C. along the I-270 corridor.

This the perp? ;-)

It looks like the miltary responded just fine. I bet the press is all bent out of shape because their lunch appointments were cancelled as a consequence of the evacuation.

from Lancaster Co. airport. I lived in York. I know exactly where that is.

Anyone can be Islamic. Did he look like he was from the Middle East? Hard to tell. He had brown, curly hair as best as I could tell.

I am sure his brown curlies will be examined in great detail......sucks to be him!

I can't believe the morons among the White House correspondents.

One does not need a high IQ to become a reporter. Being a reporter is a lot like being a peeping Tom. Both spend their time poking around in other people's lives. The only difference between them is that reporters then turn around and write about what they learn while snooping.

The Amish don't fly; they pay non-Amish to fly for them.

"I'd take this in my buggy, but my it has to be there by lunchtime. Would you fly it there for me, instead? Just drop it off on the front lawn."

LOL!

Oh, that reminds me - Did you ever get your book published?

Does anybody know if there are windows on this plane that can be opened in flight?

Yes on a Cessna 150 you can open either the doors or windows in flight.

"Those Amish can get pretty wacky."

Next threat will be from an Isl-Amish horse-drawn buggy.

During Reagan's processional through DC, June 9, there was an airspace violation by the Kentucky Governor and we had to run for our lives. I was at 1st and Constitution, trying to ask the cop a question when they started yelling at us to run away! run away!

[savedbygrace]

LOL.

Looking at the map, I see ... that to get to Intercourse, you have to first get to Paradise.

Going east on route 50 in Florida, you have to drive through the junkyards, wreckers and trailer trash of Bithlo before you get to Christmas. So the definition of Bithlo (even to its denizens) is "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
