Default A Canadian tries formation flight over DC ADIZ

A couple of weeks ago......

With all the reports now coming out about how close that Cessna came to
getting smoked over Washington, it got me thinking. When the governor
of Kentucky flew into D.C. in his King Air with a dead transponder, it
caused all kinds of panic. Then the Cessna incident happened. If
something like that occurred again, what are the chances that the next
aircraft would be fired upon?


The more often these occur without anybody seriously hurt, the less likely
there will be a shoot-down because the previous experiences will suggest
"low danger probability". ... and also the more likely that the media
will
go away because they want to be chasing real blood, not another ho-hum
ADIZ
penetration.



....borne out today, as another incursion brought out the helicopters, but
the media spent hardly any time on it.... and this group none at all, up til
now.
