The Mall, Capital Building, White House etc are restricted air space, what you’re hearing are jets flying in/out of Reagan International.

You can stand at the Washington Monument and watch them all day/night long, but they do not cross over The Mall itself. One of the absolutely coolest sites is going to DC on July 4. We’d get a spot near Washington, in between the fireworks you can see jets. Very cool! Flying into National from the South is incredible too, you go right over the Pentagon - I always get chills and I’m not talking Crissy Matthews type chills either :-)

I think they expanded the no-fly zone after 9/11 but not by that much. Fact is, there isn’t a whole lot of room.

People do not realize how small DC is You can easily see Arlington from the Washington Lincoln Monuments - you can walk to the Smithsonian’s, to the White House, to Jefferson’s monument to the USSC easily.

How different the Restoring Honor speakers are compared to this from the Sharpton Rally:

"Don't let anyone tell you that they have the right to take their country back," Avis Jones DeWeever, executive director of the National Council of Negro Women told the crowd at Rev. Al Sharpton's rally. "It's our country too. We will reclaim the dream. It was ours from the beginning." The crowd roared.
