I've flown in the DC area for close to 18 years. about 15 of them before September 11th. I never felt inclined to land at National. Not even once. National is a very convenient airport. I flew in there once years ago in a small plane with friends to attend a performance at the Kennedy Center ("Actual Sho") and it was awesome to be able to take off from my local airstrip, land right in the middle of DC, and take the Metro right to the gala, and then leave that same evening and be home before midnight. Freedom. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Jose -- (for Email, make the obvious changes in my address) |

Don't you have to be based there to even qualify for the security screening?

National has it's own procedures. Of course, the powerful get special exemption and then cause further problems for everybody else (like the Kentucky governor). |

Unfortunately, we are approaching the way things were done in the old Soviet Union -- the powerful get special privileges while the "peasants" are shut out. |

If it wasn't for the special privileged National would have been closed decades ago. |

I also fly helicopters. I used to be able to fly friends to Cabin
John Bridge, call approach and tell them that I want to take rt 3(or 4, I can't remember now) and fly at 200 AGL along Potomac, continue past CIA HQ, request left orbit around The White House, continue a little, request left orbit around The Mall and the Capital building, fly over Pentagon parking lot over 395 and back to Manassas, VA. Friends visiting the area loved it as I did. Yeah, I miss landing at College park and eat at 94th AeroSquadron. Now I drive there to eat. We are loosing a little more freedom everyday.
