Hi Ben,>Just FYI, on 9/11, all aircraft were grounded. The SFRA

That's curious. We flew the route in April of 2003, and
flew at 3,500 ft going southbound, and 4,500 ft on the
return from Catalina. I was the pilot on the northbound
flight so I'm sure of the altitude. If the SFRA was
already changed to the mini-route, our flight instructor
did not tell us about it.
And of course it seemed correct to me as it was the
identical procedure that I had used previously in Flight
Simulator.
