The Associated Press continues to get it wrong.
This part is correct: quote Private planes are not allowed to fly in the Air Defense Identification Zone, or ADIZ — an area of about 2,000 square miles radiating from the three airports around Washington — unless they have a special transponder code and maintain radio contact with the FAA. /quote This part is not: quote They’re not allowed at all within the Flight Restricted Zone, or FRZ, about a 16-mile radius around the Washington Monument. /quote This is patently untrue. Private planes *do* fly in the Flight Restricted Zone around Washington. Obviously, they have much tighter restrictions than the rest of the ADIZ, but they do fly there regularly. -- John T http://tknowlogy.com/TknoFlyer http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...veloperid=4415 ____________________ |
