When I make…you’ll read about it in the Post!
If you ever spend time on the DC tidal basin/ east potomac park, you’ll also see National Park Service -60s.
I do. I hit balls at the driving range at East Potomac Park. Never seen one. What color are they?
Dark blue or green I think. This was 15 yrs ago. Ready to be corrected if my info is wrong on the unit/org or color.
I already fly into and out of the airfield closest to the inner ring! A mere two miles from getting an F-16 visit, four miles to getting a laser warning, and six miles to getting shot down!
Not anymore. The U.S. Park Police (part of the NPS) now fly a single UH-1. Now, the Maryland State Police fly the AW-139. Most the medical helicopters around here are yellow/black EC-135’s.
Route Pack Six.........DC style.
This is where DC Metro keeps their two AStars; definitely not a pad you can land your civilian Bell 407 at!

When I was a student in the HTs, we planned a cross country to land there. Unfortunately, the day of, there was a storm system between Pensacola and DC. We decided to go to Austin instead.
ATX sounds way more fun. Did you get a flaming Dr Pepper?
