U.S. FAA vows 'immediate action' after Capitol security scare
By David Shepardson

WASHINGTON, May 25 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) told Congress it has taken "immediate action" to ensure U.S. Capitol Police are aware of unusual aerial events after an April 20 small airplane flight that prompted a security scare.

FAA Acting Administrator Billy Nolen said in a letter to Congress that the agency will provide advance notification of special event flights in the Washington-area.

Nolen said the agency believes "this will provide all of our interagency partners with the extra time necessary to reduce any potential confusion," the letter dated Friday said. "The steps we have taken will provide an additional margin of safety by reducing confusion on any unusual flight operation."

A single-engine [sic :) ] DHC-6 plane flying the U.S. Army's Golden Knights parachute demonstration team over a nearby Washington Nationals baseball game last month was mistaken for a potential security threat and prompted an evacuation of the U.S. Capitol.

The FAA, which publicly apologized last month, declined to comment Wednesday.

The FAA submitted a seven-page event timeline, which confirms the FAA's Air Traffic Security Coordination team at the National Capital Region Coordination Center (NCRCC) "did not provide this advance notification" as was commonly done before similar flights.

The timeline says a Capitol Police watch officer at the NCRCC advised a U.S. Capitol police officer that the plane spotted was an authorized flight.

A separate FAA document confirmed the plane did not enter prohibited airspace around the U.S. Capitol.

Nolen also said he had met earlier this month with Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger. Capitol Police did not immediately comment.

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi last month criticized the "outrageous and frightening mistake."

Her office referred questions Wednesday to her prior statement.

The U.S. Capitol Police initially said they were tracking an aircraft that posed a "probable threat" but minutes later said there was no threat.

Pelosi said last month Congress wanted to know who at the FAA "will be held accountable."

Rumor is that they are going to pick up another motorcycle. :)

UPDATE: A plane, a motorcycle, a mystery
Air Force investigates ‘unplanned stop’ at Martha’s Vineyard Airport.

By George Brennan and Rich Saltzberg -March 25, 2022

Updated March 28 @ 2:45 pm

A military cargo plane that stopped at Martha’s Vineyard Airport Friday, scooped up a motorcycle, and continued on its way was “an unplanned stop,” according to a spokesperson for a U.S. Air Force reserve unit out of Mississippi.

“While performing an off-station training mission, a U.S. Air Force Reserve crew with the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, 403rd Wing, Keesler Air Force Base, Mississippi, made an unplanned stop at Martha’s Vineyard Airport, Massachusetts, March 24,” Lt. Col. Marnee Losurdo wrote in an email Monday. “Leadership is aware of the incident, which is under investigation.”

Lt. Col. Losurdo was responding to an inquiry made by The Times on Monday after the Massachusetts National Guard said it had no knowledge or involvement in the mysterious visit.

The incident set off wild speculation in comments and on social media about whom the motorcycle belonged to. In a follow-up email, Lt. Col. Losurdo wrote, “The motorcycle belonged to a member of the aircrew. While the incident is being investigated, there isn’t much more I can tell you until it’s completed.”

123.425

VFA-125 F-35Cs (RAIDER 11?) chat on 311.225 passing Kentucky on the way to the Jones Beach Airshow on Long Island, New York in the audio clip below.

Sounds like they have a local TV spot going live at 5:45 pm, might be early, slowing cruise to Mach .80.

Show center coordinates are passed, it will be a boat in the water.
