????? where these small aircraft coming from, and where are they landing? I don't think small craft are allowed within 25 or 50 miles of George's bunker.

In fall and winter, when boat traffic is very light on the Potomac, I am frequently followed by a coast guard(blue/orange) heli when I drive my boat up the potomac toward dc.
