[Scan-DC] Unknown Alexandria Incident

[Blair Thompson]

Maybe it was the only craft nearby with gas in the tank. I dunno.

Nearby George Mason ES has been used as an LZ. Years ago, someone trimming trees came into contact with one phase of a street feed power line. He lived. The ball field behind GMES was turned into an LZ for the Washington Hospital Center helo. Alexandria public service was analog at that time, and I had my PRO-67 on. I went up there to see what was going on. I met the person at a yard sale much later. After 23 operations, he was still hurting. He says the line was energized at 19,200 volts, but I've heard other figures about what the line voltage was.

Interestingly this unfamiliar Sikorsky has been circling for the last hour here. I first guesses it was VSP but I finally managed to spot the tail # (N159CM) and saw it was Dept of Homeland Security. 

I thought it was a bit much for a state govt.
