Anyway some clarification ....
I did not say STOP ALL AIRCRAFT for 250 miles
I NEVER proposed a no-fly
The magic buzz word for this is a FRZ or Flight Restricted Zone which is
currently 13 to 15 miles around the VOR/DME at Reagan National Airport.
It's not measured at all from the WASHINGTON VOR. It's an irregularly
shaped blob which follows stupid-assed things like the isogonic line
from the 2001 sectional chart.
Hmmm.... I could have sworn that it was. Take a look at this FAA website
and see of you agree with me.
