I definitely want to do some more research on this. Did you know that: According to the Associated Press: “it became illegal for airplanes to fly over the White House” in Washington D.C.? This supposedly took place in the year 1935. I wonder if Congress passed a law or exactly what transpired at that time and I wonder what would happen if an airplane DID fly over the White House? There was a man who landed some sort of aircraft in the lawn of the White House and he was quickly arrested. No surprise there. I guess we will never know where that THIRD airplane was headed on 9-11 in 2001. Some say it was headed toward the White House or the Capitol building in D.C. I’ll see if I can find out more about this “law.”

Probably was the white house. I had read that too somewhere several years'back and wondered what had made them make that law then.

Although its the law, law-breakers don't care. But, I guess there are things in place to stop this from happening. Small planes would be stopped easily but a large plane???

The white house is a no-fly zone.

Yes, I'm sure it is and has been since 1935.
