said he got lost, but even so, how hard would it be to know that you need
to fly west, not east when in that area?

More to the point, going from PA to NC, how hard is it to know that the DC
Metro area lies across your path? ....and that it just might be an area to
avoid? Even if he did get lost initially, how hard is it to recognize DC
and stay the hell away? After many years, I've concluded that the single
greatest weakness in both cars and small airplanes is the simple inability
of certain people to just pay attention to what the hell is going on.
