Also in the article

I remember that one. Hopefully if that'd happen now he'd been black spot on the south lawn.

I wonder how close the Secret Service would allow a plane before they'd shoot.

I was going to send you a message about all the jet activity going on around here Sunday, then I checked the “events calender” for Hagerstown and saw that there was a “fly in” scheduled for that day.I figured then that it was a bunch of out of staters flying their old Fairchild planes into the airport.
