HARFORD COUNTY, Md. -- There's been another violation of the no-fly zone in 
the D.C.-Baltimore  area.

Authorities  said the plane was flying from Norfolk when it skirted the outer 
edge of  restricted airspace near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge called the Air 
Defense  Identification Zone.  
Authorities said the zone encompasses 30 miles around  Baltimore-Washington 
International Airport, Ronald Reagan Washington National  Airport and Dulles 
International Airport.      
Authorities said they believe the pilot meant to fly around the zone but  
skirted the outer perimeter.  
The pilot landed in Harford County, Md., late Thursday night and was met  by 
Maryland State Police and the Secret Service.  
Federal authorities said the pilot was questioned and released.  
This is the third time in less than a month that a pilot has flown into  
restricted airspace in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area.
