16. Trivia on that prohibited area

A long, long time ago, I was working on some cockpit mapping software and noticed that the western most point of that prohibited area did not exist. That point was defined as some junction/intersection that was ripped out so that the Kennedy Center could be built.

I reported it through the proper channels, but the FAA still had not fixed it years later. I do not know how it is defined today.

3. Forbidden Air Space

trump and vance’ plane flew thru forbidden air space. Mainly the Capital and the White House.

Technically planes flying in forbidden air space are shot down. Unless it is trump and his stooge Vance.

What penalty will be inflicted on the pilot. trump and vance will go Scott Free. Pilot there goes your License.

about his job choices. Trump has already tried to kill his previous VP. This stunt could have ended very badly for him.

Just made me realize that iq45 may have set that up hoping to get him shot down?



I don't want to start rumors but, since we don't know what really happened, could that be a possibility? Or one of his dirty evil doers like stone or some other criminal? It's not like vance is in good standing, he's on a droopy tightrope after all.

His ear boo-boo didn't get him the sympathy boost he hoped for. So, he's going for a Biden ordered his VP shot down vote campaign.

Disclaimer: I, in no way believe this, but the Qumpers will.

The possibilities are endless. But it would be a noisy way to get rid of the vance if he were so inclined if you know what I mean.

By all reasoning, they should have had a more serious response.

turns up on any trump mailers it will prove this was done for a photo opp. These pilots will have sacrificed their careers for the cult leader.

of air traffic rules and procedures saying that this had to be unintentional, but I just can’t help thinking of JD’s earlier airport stunt:



Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) approached Air Force Two “to check out” the plane after both he and Vice President Harris landed at the same airport in Wisconsin.

When he told gathered press what he was doing, Vance also attacked Harris for not answering questions from the media.

“I figured that I would come by and get a good look at the plane because hopefully it’s going to be my plane in a few months,” Vance said in front of Air Force Two. “I also thought you guys may get lonely, because the VP doesn’t answer questions from reporters.”

that there's no way they would have agreed to do it just for a trolling stunt. Totally on track for JD Vance, though.

So it could be anything but I don't see the pilots doing it without major compensation. They will get suspensions at the very least... n'est ce pas?
