Just think how bad it would have looked if the F-16 pilots had shot her down.

There is never an excuse not to check for TFRs (Temporary Flight Restrictions) these days. Not that a Piper Cub could do any real damage (remember they can only 'bearly' kill you); but its just an unfortunate fact of life, and the FAA ain't so keen on people busting restricted airspace.

I suppose life and flying might have been simpler when she started flying!

Oh well, no harm done eh? So no need to get too seious about it - I bet she has learned the lesson anyway!:salute:

It'd be a shame to revoke her license for what was, in the outcome, a trivial incident.
If the FAA needs to get official, they should just slap her with a fine.

The account of that incident that I read was in the Air Force Times. It was hilarious! I was on the floor! Good for her! Hopefully nothing happens to her.
