How many pilots have been forced to lay face down on the ground and

Why limit it to Washington DC?
Go back and read the story of mistaken identity for the unfortunate
individuals who happened to land at the wrong airport in Florida, had
their airplane flipped by rotor wash from a Customs Blackhawk, were
pulled injured from the damaged aircraft, hogtied with guns and
screaming Customs and DEA agents in their face, and left in said
condition abruptly when one of the helicopter crew yelled that they had
the wrong plane, that the one they wanted was still airborne and the
Citation with the FLIR was still tracking, the agents reboarded the
Blackhawk and off they flew.

I hope those who were abused by the misguided LEOs were justly
compensated, and those who committed such a repugnant act were
appropriately punished.


So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing
we have to fear is fear itself... [and a tyrannical president
