Are you sure of the aircraft type? A report on White House security lists only
the landing of a stolen helicopter on the grounds by Robert Preston and the
attempt by Samuel Byck to hijack an airliner and crash it into the White House.
The latter incident would certainly make an excellent movie, even if they didn't
hype it up. The only referral to a Cessna crash I can find is the one during the
Clinton administration.
