Yup, I stand corrected as acknowledges above.

Oh the horror!, to go down in web history as the first person ever to
post a mistaken piece of information in a newsgroup. How will I ever
live this down?

They are making a big budget movie with Shawn Penn about
the guy who tried to crash a Cessna into the White House
during the Nixon years. Just what GA needs. Hopefully,
they will show how it essentially bounced off the windows.

Well, if we are going to critize something let's at least know what
we are
talking about. The movie was about Samuel Byck who tried to hijack
a
commercial airliner to crash into the White House. The Cessna
incident
happened to Bill Clinton.

I thought Kris Kristofferson (sic) landed a helicopter on the White
House lawn back in the 60's?

Or maybe it was Johnny Cash's lawn.

The scene will be no more inaccurate than the crash in "The Aviator," and we
all loved that movie.

Accuracy, that's a pipe dream. I prefer to place my dreams on a horrible
accident during production that gives Penn his own "lifetime achievment
award.".
