Not anything credible.
Here's the poop from AOPA: ********************************* Washington ADIZ incursion causes alert AOPA reminds pilots of obligations, tools to avoid incursions Nov. 10 - Air National Guard fighter pilots on Monday intercepted a general aviation aircraft that had violated the no-fly zone at the heart of the Baltimore-Washington Air Defense Identification Zone, determined that the aircraft posed no threat, and escorted the pilot out. "While we don't yet know why the aircraft strayed into the ADIZ, the system worked as designed," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "Air traffic controllers identified a potential threat. The military responded with appropriate force and appropriate restraint and, after determining that the pilot posed no threat, escorted him out of the ADIZ and let him go on his way." What convinced the fighter pilots that it was an inadvertent incursion was apparently that the GA pilot saw and complied with their intercept signals. [The AOPA Air Safety Foundation has prepared an intercept procedures card (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).] AOPA continues to remind pilots that it is their obligation to know about and avoid all flight-restricted areas. And the association has been extraordinarily proactive in providing pilots with the tools and information they need to do so, including the new AOPA Real Time Flight Planner, which provides up-to-minute graphical depictions of temporary flight restriction (TFR) locations. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
