Where did you hear it was an instructor? The AOPA blurb doesn't say that, and
the landings database doesn't show a CFI certificate for Jim Schaeffer.

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

After checking CNN again you are right it did say Pilot and Student.
Not real sure where I heard instructor, think it was local radio
though but we know how the news media verifies facts before
publishing.

The errant pilots were enroute to an airshow in NC. At least they
didn't miss the excellent demonstration of the Blackhawk and F16s!

I just love it when people who make silly mistakes blame the media for
being almost as wrong as they are. The media, after all, have an
obligation to be far more perfect than humans.

If they were even accurate 10% of the time...on ANY story.

....they probably STILL wouldn't have accidentally flown a Cessna into
restricted airspace and something as visibly obvious as the nation's
capitol.

Those freakin' aviators, man. Sheesh...

Watch the generalizations. Occasionally they bite back.
