C150 terrorizing the skies over DC

[n86121]

The fact is that the airborne rules of engagement worked exactly as they're supposed to" The confused get diverted before they get blasted.

The problem was the (over) reaction on the ground. The Capitol Police have their own 5 minute thing, so when that oine gets crossed, they're not being 'in the loop,' one was yelling in the senate building "Run for your lives, we are under attack by enemy aircraft."

The guys in the air knew it was a confused geezer, frozen at the controls by the unexpected airshow.

There was also interfernce on 121.5, so it made comm difficult.

Murphy's law.

No effect on us. Our 'radar tags' look differnt by virtue of the special things we do, so those who are concerned are NOT concerned about us.
