Dangerous Cessna evacuates govt again

Exactly how much airspace does a vessel at sea in international waters own,
who controls it, and what treatys, if any, grant control to any particular
vessel?

WOW!
One would have to be pretty stupid to fly over DC in todays world. I
can
understand the "No Fly Zone" policy, but I can't understand why all the
cops
in the area have to act like Soviet paratroopers are descending around
Washington Monument.
When onboard the USS Iwo Jima we almost had to shoot down a small GA
plane in the Med. He invaded our airspace, after the second warning battle
stations were called, all the cool anti aircraft machine guns and missles
came online. The Captain had them try him one last time and he waved his
wings and turned around. I often wonder if he actually realized how close
to
dying he was.
So I can agree with most and say the DC police act like a bunch of
bent
out of shape Campfire Girls running around screaming , but if a US Warship
has protected airspace..shouldn't the Capital of the US? What excuse could
a
pilot give in VFR conditions for being to close to DC? Oh I didn't know
what
DC looked like? I agree with the take their license away.
The news channels were saying that it would take the plane 90 seconds
to
reach the Capital or White House from the 3 mile radius....bet that 3 mile
becomes 10 miles soon. We can thank this latest idiot as well as the
Governor of Kentucky's pilots!
