The joy of D.C. Flying

I'd love to join you on one of those flights someday. My buddy just bought a yacht over in Oxford, MD across the Chesapeake. He's living on it until he sails it to St. Thomas for the winter. If I visit him I may try to darken your door...

My D.C. flying story: While flying for US Airways, we would occasionally depart runway 1 at Reagan (DCA). Departing 1, you are on a direct path for the White House. To avoid overflying the White House at low altitude, pilots are instructed to make a HARD left turn AS SOON AS PRACTICAL. We took FULL advantage of this, is all I would say. Maximum Bank angles may have been exceeded. But it was for National Security, right?
