Another ADIZ violation?
Yeah it happened.
The guy took off from Hyde went somewhere and tried to come back in. Had
a "total electrical failure" and ended up landing at Maryland Airport.

All:
I heard a lot of air activity over my Washington, DC home today, and
was told later by a friend that an 84-year-old pilot had a total
electrical failure on the way from Stafford, VA (KRMN), where
maintenance was being performed on his plane. According to my friend,
the pilot landed at Indian Head, MD (2W5) after violating the
Washington DC ADIZ airspace, and didn't even see the intercept chopper
until it landed with him. Don't know how accurate these details are,
haven't seen any news on it yet.
Paradoxically, every time someone accidentally violates the ADIZ, it
reinforces the notion for some people that we really need the ADIZ...
