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.
