Good one Walter!  That had me cracking up!

I've never seen anything like that in peacetime!

I did some research and found out there WAS a national security exercise around Camp David at that time...just happened to see it thanks to IFly and Stratux!

We are the most free general aviation of all nations....incredible we could be flying around near something like that.  And then SEE it!

Using Synthetic Vision to fly the "highway in the sky" through the boxes you can set up in the flight planning section of IFly....fun to do!  In a pinch, in low vis or at night, this is very helpful.  Might even be a life-saver if a person ran into inadvertent IMC some day...another great tool in the kitbag!

I think if you somehow got caught in zero zero conditions, you could navigate to the largest runway available and have a reasonable chance of getting on the ground and living to talk about it.  For me, it would be KATL.  Of course, before I did that, I would get a precision radar approach into KMGE.  I used to have fun practicing those on ocassion.  "Start turn, stop turn," etc.
