Canadian Brigadier General Paul Ormsby (that’s right, a British empire Canadian is in charge of defending U.S. airspace! He served in USCentComm in Florida, at The Pentagon and NorAD) has some advise for civilian pilots who accidentally fly into restricted U.S. airspace: “First, remain predictable, maintain your current altitude, heading, and airspeed; next turn your radio to the guard frequency, 121.5, to talk with the fighter or helicopter; finally, comply with instructions from the fighter or helicopters to exit the flight restricted airspace safely.”
