Dangerous Cessna evacuates govt again

Yes, it's silly for the gov't to scatter like hens when a Cessna
approaches,
but that's not the point.

Not when its possible for a C150 to carry a small A bomb in a suitcase.

Wouldn't it be easier just to drive there?

Yes, but shipping it might be an even better choice now that I think on it.

One can carry much more, without the problem of dodging fighters, in a
minivan.

When DC is closed off to all vehicular traffic, I'll believe that someone is
serious about security and I'll accept what's being done to GA there.
Absent that, this is a joke and we're the butt of that joke.

And while we are at it, howe about securing the borders? If you can't
secure your borders you have no country.

Good point. I only fly radio control models right now. There has been
some restriction of their use during large international events and
around Washington. The same thing has been pointed out about them, but
it makes no differance.

It's really ridiculous. London endured the Blitz. America has got to stop
living in fear.

Not a good example. Small planes have been banned from the airspace over London
for decades.

There's plenty of room for all of God's creatures. Right next to the
mashed potatoes.

Small SINGLE-ENGINE planes are banned not MULTI's.

Still, it is quite ridicilous. I wonder how many people would be suprised
to know a fully-loaded Cessna 150 would bounce of the side of the
Washington Memorial...

Forget about the Statue of Liberty.

Anyhow, I think it'll be forgotten.

IMO.

I don't know if it is a new regulation, but about 10 years ago I
overflew the city at 2400 ft, twice in one weekend, as asked by ATC, and
met plenty of ULM on the way.
