ADIZ Violation Explained in AOPA Magazine

The helicopter had a 'well armed' person on board and presented a sign that said contact 121.5. When they dialed up
121.5 all they heard was and ELT beep-beep-beep swamping out the frequency.

Then the chopper had them switch to another frequency. There was nothing on it
at all. Outside parties claim the chopper's radio was inoperative; the HSA
refuses to comment on that.

Coffee is only a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to
your slightly older self.

Claims of inop. While possible the radios didn't work, it's at least as
likely the operator dialed the wrong frequency. Either way, it in no way
absolves or mitigates the actions of Shaeffer and Martin.
