HOW do you as a safe, qualified pilot fly over Washington DC and not know it's Washington DC? Are there any pilots in these forums that DON'T know it's restricted airspace? Actually, I've flown over that area many times cutting under the Dulles class-B in happier days. There's not much there that's distinctive if you don't know the area. A fair number of little lakes that all look alike. Then an increasing number of houses, but by then, you'd be inside the ADIZ. I must say, however, that I would've turned around many miles before they did. The beltway is really unmistakeable, and, of course, you've got lots of famous landmarks a bit further on. In short, coming from that direction, it would be real easy to bust the ADIZ without knowing it, but *extremely* hard to get as far as they did without knowing you're over D.C..
