Oh groan. An idiot with an airplane..
blundered into the DC airspace and prompted the evacuation of the capitol
and the Supreme Court just before Regan's funeral. Bad press for GA can't get much worse than this. I hope Boyer is on top of his game today. -- Roger Long

According to some news reports, it was carrying an official attending the
funeral services. The gov't may play down the incident but of course that won't stop the media... Marco "Cecil Chapman" wrote in message . com... Argh!

Yeah, those idiot cops from Kentucky and their silly Governor. What
were they thinking terrorizing the capitol like that? See, little airplanes are nothing but trouble! Just shoot them down I say! They have a Lieutenant Governor don't they? I'm sure he would like a promotion.  "Bill Denton" wrote in message ... I heard it was a Kentucky State Police King Air. "Marco Leon" mleon(at)optonline.net wrote in message ...

But if they shot it down, the governor's family would have probably sued
Raytheon for not being able to take a missile hit or Garmin because their GTX330 didn't call it out as traffic! And WIN! The precedent has been established that the equipment need not be a factor in the accident.... Marco "Dean Wilkinson" wrote in message m...

blundered into the DC airspace and prompted the evacuation of the capitol and the Supreme Court just before Regan's funeral. Bad press for GA can't get much worse than this. I hope Boyer is on top of his game today. It was the Governor of Kentucky's state aircraft, with permission to land at Reagan Airport... but the transponder return was flaky, and someone got jittery.
