I did not see the flight path or old charts. However, an AOPA lawyer
(that is, a lawyer that is part of the AOPA plan) spoke at a seminar
about FAA enforcement, and told the group that Shaeffer was right in
(or aimed at, I forget which) the old corridor.

Here's the direct link to the flight path superimposed on a Washington
sectional:

Thanks.

I took out three old TCA charts (or TAC charts, whatever) and you are
right, even back then there wasn't a flyway where he was heading
(although on my 1993 combined Baltimore-Washington chart there is a
flyway between #2 and #3 around Baltimore, it does not extend into the
DC area, where class A extends to the surface and National's airspace
extends over the river)

So, I conclude that he was not intending to use "the old corridor in the
DC area", unless his charts predate 1982, which is the oldest one I have.

Interestingly, on that chart I have a wiggly line drawn in highlight
marker that follows highways and secondary roads through Baltimore (with
an odd detour to an unnamed VFR reporting point in Baltimore and back),
then to DC via Route 1 and direct to the captiol building, and a sharp
right turn past the observatory and following the little roads passing
through Frederick and then off the chart. In addition, airport and
airspace data is highlighted along the path in the Baltimore area. I
have no idea what that was for, and there are no flights in my logbook
in the area for this time period.

Should I have the chart dusted for fingerprints?
