The two guys flying into restricted airspace today that brought the evacuation of the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court will not be prosecuted. But the FAA will decide what to do with the flight instructor's license; so, don't think they get off without penalty. About a month ago, George the Lesser ducked into the underground bunker because a plane entered the restricted airspace around Washington without clearance and with much less fanfare. You got to wonder how stupid can these pilots be?
When Bush was in town a couple weeks back to give one of his scripted good ol' boy chats about his plan to eliminate Old Age, Disability, and Survivors' Insurance to an invitation-only audience of cheering automatons, I got a phone call from a pilot friend who suggested that I call one of my clients on his cell phone because he appeared to be in some wee bit of trouble, since he was surrounded by a number of U.S. Secret Service agents and Transportation Security Administration enforcement officers drilling him with questions about flying in restricted Presidential airspace.
He took a student up for a lesson. Forgot all about Bush. He wasn't charged. We await the call from the FAA, however.
