Default Questions on VFR sectionals and TACs

There was that one jackass that flew his cessna (I don't know
what model) into the side of the White House. I'm certain he
was violating restricted airspace.


1. It was a 150.
2. It never got anywhere near the building, it smacked into a tree
(and didn't do much damage to it) on the grounds.
3. He was violating the class B airspace and a prohibited area.

I guess it would be in the neighborhood of 250 pounds or so, which is
enough to make me nervous. It certainly wouldn't be an "Oklahoma
City" bomb, though.


It wouldn't even get as good as loading up a jeep with over 1000 lbs
of stuff and four-wheeling it in close.
