I also busted the ADIZ (they have another term for it now) around DC last summer by a 1/2 mile while sightseeing around the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. When I got back to the airport, the airport manager had been called by Tracon and told me to call Tracon. While on the phone with Tracon, the TSA had called the airport manager and left all kind of threatening messages about sending the police after me. While I was talking to Tracon, TSA called them and Tracon relayed to them that I had busted it by less than a 1/2 mile and I must have realized what I had done since I had made a 180 deg turn...so Tracon thought that should be the end of it and to this day I have not heard another word. But a word to the wise, these TSA guys are on steroids ( I have a stronger term but won't use it) about the air security around DC and one should give it a wide berth. The Tracon guy told me that the "truth data" is radar, not your GPS, and not cut it so close. So in actuality, you may be outside the ADIZ, but if they say you are in there, stand by for a lot of attention :) r/Bernie KR2S Builder/air space criminal Lusby, MD
