Might have just been them returning or testing. who knows.

I guess it could have been a police helicopter, but it was still strange seeing it so low right over DCA.

Originally Posted By Toy Maker If I remember correctly the air space over the Disneyland Resort is actually a controlled "no fly zone" meaning that general aviation aircraft, such as small, single engine planes, flying under visual flight rules that are not in contact with Air Traffic Control are not allowed to fly over Disneyland, if on the other hand if a commercial airliner that is in contact with Air Traffic Control and is told to fly over Disneyland or if a News Helicopter ask Air Traffic Control if they can fly over Disneyland, they are allowed to do so. Police and Med-Evac Helicopters do not have to follow the no fly zone rules.
