Small aircraft lands on Capitol lawn; pilot in custody

WASHINGTON – The pilot of a small gyrocopter is in custody Wednesday after evading security and landing on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.

The incident, which is being investigated by Capitol Police, prompted a lockdown of nearby streets and raised fresh security concerns.

While Capitol Police did not immediately name the pilot or comment on his motive, Florida postal carrier Doug Hughes took responsibility for the stunt on a website where he said he was delivering letters to all 535 members of Congress in order to draw attention to campaign finance corruption.

The idiot is lucky air defense didn't blow him into a vaporized mist before he ever got near the Capitol.

If Andrew Jackson lived today, he would let citizens in gyrocopters land on the White House lawn for a drink of whiskey and a rousing square dance. Maybe a concert with a CCR coverband.

Gosh, we need new leadership in Washington.
