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



Finally, when the Cessna came within three miles of the
White House -- just a few minutes flying time -- it altered
course.

After landing in Frederick, the pilot and student pilot were
handcuffed and questioned before being released. Authorities
said the two had become lost.

Sheaffer and Martin have not been available for comment.

Sheaffer didn't take the most basic steps required of pilots
before operating an aircraft, the Post reported, citing FAA
records. He failed to check the weather report before
leaving Smoketown, and he didn't check the FAA's "Notices to
Airmen," which informs pilots of airspace restrictions.

Greg Martin, the FAA spokesman, would not confirm the Post's
account.
