"Landed" is not quite correct for 1994: the guy crashed it. (He had been smoking crack beforehand, as I recall.)

This led the government to close Pennsylvania Avenue NW between 15th and 17th Streets. The reasoning was not apparent, for the pilot had certainly not taken off there--he flew from a field in Maryland.



Pennsylvania Ave was closed to vehicle traffic on May 20, 1995, following the April 19 truck bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, in which 168 people died.
