It looks like a couple of idiots flew within 3 mile of the White House today. The White House, Congress, and the Supmreme Court buildings had to be evacuated. THe pilots, flying a Cessna C-150 were on their way to an airshow in North Carolina.
I guarantee we are going to lose a few more of our rights over this episode!

Yup!

The Cessna 150 loaded with two 150 lb. guys, 1/2 the weekends clothes and full fuel. (Max T.O.W.) On their way to an airshow? HeHeHe!
I guess they stopped all the progress that was supposed to happen in D.C. today.

Martin's wife, Jill, said the two men left late Wednesday morning for Lumberton.
"Troy was discussing with me last night after they made their flight plans all about the no-fly zones and how they were going to avoid them. He said they were going to fly between two different restricted areas," she said.

"They were navigating by sight and were lost," said Justice Department spokesman Kevin Madden.

Heheheheeahhhmaannn

GPS? Anyone? Flight Following? Anyone? Standard Weather(wxbrief)? Anyone?Common sense? Anyone? Anyone? Buehler? Buehler?

It said one of them was a student. I wonder if the pilot was his instructor? (insert crack about that flight school here)

Go Allllll the way around complicated airspace. Thats my motto, and I'm sticking with it.
