Related to current events, and maybe you know this already -- after 9/11 they changed the allowed flight paths around National such that every inbound flight is basically doing a canyon run over the Potomac. I'm willing to bet that was a contributing factor to the recent crash.
I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. Thanks for pointing it out.
They do make a canyon run basically! It's interesting to watch.
I used to fly into National every two weeks, for about three years. Landing pattern was always a trip, 737 making real tight turns for a commercial airliner.
I don't recall if I've flown into DCA since then, but that sounds fun!
