So, ah, where was FAA Air Traffic control during this
debacle??? Real warm fuzzy knowing a 150 can just wander in
the most restricted airspace on Earth with no bells and
whistles before it was 3 miles away from the White House. It
should have been noticed 60 miles out not 3.

Got to be an Air Traffic screw up also



Doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing, separating and sequencing
aircraft. Our ATC system does not keep track of every VFR aircraft not on
flight following, nor do we want it to. They were watching, attempting to
contact, and intercepting that plane long before 3 miles out. 3 miles is
where they finally turned west.


Well, what about that ? If an area is going to lead to shooting aircraft
down, shouldn't that at least be class C ?
