There's another interesting article posted on the web site of
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association at www.aopa.org

"A Cessna 150 based at Smoketown Airport in Pennsylvania
strayed into prohibited airspace over Washington, D.C.,
today, causing evacuations of the White House, Capitol,
and Supreme Court."

"The airplane reportedly flew into restricted airspace, then
returned. It was escorted to Frederick Municipal Airport, site
of AOPA headquarters, by Marshal Service and Air Force aircraft
where it landed shortly before 1 PM." (Eastern Time).

"Although little was immediately known about the aircraft's
occupants, one of the two men on board was a student
pilot and a member of the 10 person flying club that owns
the airplane. The other occupant was identified as a flight
instructor."

"The men exited the aircraft at gunpoint before being
handcuffed and detained for questioning by the Secret
Service. It was not immediately clear what, if any, charges
would be filed against the men. Both men were reportedly
cooperating with authorities."

"Two F-16s dropped four warning flares in the path of the
airplane in an effort to divert it, according to NBC News.
The pilot reportedly told officials his radio was not working."

By the way, the Washington Metropolitan Air Defense
Identification Zone (ADIZ) was created in 2003 and is nearly
40 miles in size. The AOPA has been trying to get the FAA
to modifying the ADIZ, saying it was intended to be temporary.
The AOPA, along with some members of Congress, have also been
trying to reopen Reagan/National to general aviation aircraft.
