Four plus years on, and this reopens with silliness?
I know one of the AA's captains brother, who ran for Congress, btw. He hasn't seen his brother since 9/10. Where might he be , if there were no planes?
P-56? It has been, and continues to be, penetrated by all sorts of KDCA departures with reasonable regularity. As in, about 4-5 times a year. It used to be more often but GA traffic has been basically eliminated from the airport. In the old days, there was no airborne military component in the DC area. I won't discuss the pre-9/11 alert status. Since 9/11, the USCG and USAF have a presence and are set to intercept intruders in the DCA SFRA. In all cases, past and present, the FAA had a very strong reaction to P-56 intruders. The penalties were high and not avoiding them.
You want to peddle conspiracy theories, I'd suggest knowing some facts.
