STOP! DON’T GO THERE!
The Federal Aviation Administration currently designates six areas in the United States as prohibited flight zones that pilots must avoid:
- Capitol zone in Washington, D.C. that covers the White House, Capitol and Naval Observatory.
- President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.
- The Bush family compound in Kennebunkport, Maine.
- The presidential retreat at Camp David in Maryland.
- Pantex nuclear assembly plant in Amarillo, Texas.
- The area around George Washington’s home at Mount Vernon, Virginia, to prevent vibrations from engine noise from rattling the historic home.
