One special procedure that everyone needs to know about is in the Washington DC area.

While on V376 heading north from the IRONS interchange, as you approach the DCA 13nm DME, flip your transponder to 7500 and begin a rapid descent at full throttle.  This will guarantee you a very warm reception into the DC area.

For the love of God, don't do this!  >:D


Not even funny..... >:(

OK, OK...I was going to mention that the "very warm reception" included a tropical vacation of indefinite length if you managed to survive.

The security at the resort is even good, which is nice given the neighborhood >:D.

Gitmo is actually fairly nice these days. No worse then many other Navy overseas shore installations like for example, NAS Sigonella.
