I don't really wanna know what kind of light in the loafer shannigans will be taking place on that beautiful constellation. What really impresses me is the BUFF that managed to sneak into the picture.
Maybe the Air Force should start reviewing how to make pilots again, instead of fucking up four day weekends for the troops. Last I heard, there's a pilot shortage and UPT is a cluster fuck.
Civilian traffic isn't normally cleared through the FRZ (approximately 15 NMs around DCA).
The civilian traffic that flies through the airspace within 30 NMs of DC, must have special training and a clearance to enter the SFRA.
They basically treat 30 NMs within DCA like Bravo. I believe they will provide flight following for the higher flying civilian traffic but helos are generally too low on the radar.
You ask for specific routes or zones with tower prior to executing them. Example: "Tower, Biff 28 Cabin John, 1, 4, 3 to Andrews".
From what I remember, there were only military, gov agency and police helicopters. No tourists.

Somebody refresh my memory but isn't the CRJ900 at Delta flown by mainline Delta crews?
If so, at least they're already at the majors. You gotta land all of your kickflips at the regionals to have any chance of going to the majors.

Trans vegan cult. I believe this to be a WTF.
I actually flew in an orange mustang suit a few times. I hated those things. Never the less, it was orange and very reflective.
Edit: Shirts are for pussies!
When we flew in DC at the 1st HS, about half of the time we flew single pilot with a SMA in the left seat. They knew they maps as good and sometimes better than us pilots.

This. Sometimes you'd be 20 feet above of the water, depending on the altimeter setting.
Also, we'd typically use the radar altimeter as a warning that you're too low and stay above that setting.
The same technique I used in DC.
I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday about CAS. He was a snake eater in Nam. He said they'd periodically call in air strikes from BUFFs. He said the bombs would go off everywhere, sometimes he had to hold onto a tree to help with the shock waves.
He laughed when I told him that nowadays, dudes can putt a bomb into someone's butthole from 30,000 feet.
