LondonJ,
chopperpilot47 summarized the situation quite well.
"I think you're being a little harsh on him, everyone makes mistakes. "
1) They were flying with outdated charts
2) As cp47 said, it's the largest and most publicized TFR/ADIZ in the U.S. These two guys were truly "oblivious"
3)In fixed wing we don't have the luxury of stopping and working out where we are.
- A pilot can always orbit in place while they work out their position
- ATC is available almost everywhere in the U.S. for assistance
"Yes it was a stupid error but we're only human."
On a scale of 1-10 this was 100 on the stupid scale.
