Yeah, I didn't know this. According to strategypage.com (military and news affairs):

"Several hundred violations of the DC no-fly zone occur each year, most of them by disoriented private pilots in small aircraft."

Shouldn't we hear about airplanes in the no-fly zone EVERY DAY?? So why all the big news recently about these? Very good question.....
