KDCA - DHS above DC for State of Union
« on: March 09, 2024, 01:40:23 UTC »
Sharing this quick exchange... 3/7/24 ~20:30EST (3/8/24 01:30Z) ... Park Police helicopter (Eagle1) patrolling around Prohibited Area (P56A) as usual prior to POTUS movement, from WH to Capitol for State of the Union... asking Tower what that aircraft is hovering around DC at 5500ft just north of DCA (presumably just outside P56A)... few mins later over on Potomac KRANT freq the controller asks Troy-218 (Homeland Security) to turn on searchlight ("people think you're a drone")
