Again, I will reference your total lack of 'getting it'..In DC, it would be impossible for Marine One to NOT fly in restricted airspace in DC. Why? Because the air over DC is restricted airspace for a 30 nm mile radius, The interior 15 mile radius is prohibited airspace surface to 18000 MSL. The airspace over Camp David is restricted as well. At any rate, it is impossible for two aircraft to fly in the 'same space'.
only that it flies IN restricted air space
As pointed out above, in DC it is impossible for Marine One to not fly in restricted airspace. If your contention is that Marine One only flies in restricted airspace you'd be again, sadly wrong. Restricted airspace does NOT preclude other aircraft from operating in the Restricted area at the same time as MO.
Does it not fly fairly close to and partially around the Washington Monument, and follow something of a zig zag path through parts of D. C.?
And?? Been to DC? It is tough to plan an approach to the White House lawn without coming 'fairly' close to the Washington Monument. As indicated earlier, a zig zag course has more to do with remaining unpredictable than trying to stay in an R-area. As Patton has already pointed out, maybe without seeing the same special, is that MO flight path on any given day is not for publication.
The final question: What’s YOUR source for your information that corrects me on those points?
Have you ever heard of HMX-1? Google it.
But if all you’ve got are more ad hominem attacks, then don’t bother, because it won’t advance the discussion one iota.
LOL, waaaaah, piece of advice, don't rely on TV shows to portray accuracy in the real world.
Listen, you continue to misrepresent and misinterpret what I’ve written in this thread. So, either you are doing that intentionally, or English isn’t your native language.
You’ve never actually said you are or have been in HMX-1. Assuming that’s true, if you had said that right away, rather than making a new career out of arrogant sniping, we might have had an informative and healthy discussion.
But apparently you’ve got a burr up your butt. That’s your problem, not mine.
Funny, with this last post of yours, you are actually confirming most of the things I said in post #15. Do you realize that?
As I said in a subsequent post, my use of ‘restricted air space’ in #15 was inaccurate, but other than that, you are confirming much of what I actually said. So, what is the real problem? Why did you feel the need to expend all that energy over this?
Well, if it made you feel better to do all that, more power to you.
It was very nice of you to agree with everything savedbygrace said. And very talented of you to make it sound like you were disagreeing. lol
