• An Army Mechanic Stole a Huey and Flew It to the White House (military.com) — A dramatic 1974 incident began right at Fort Meade, when a young Army mechanic stole a Huey helicopter from Tipton Field and flew it all the way to the White House. The story recounts lax base security, his low-level flight down the parkway, a tense chase over Washington, and how he ultimately landed on the South Lawn and faced surprisingly light punishment.
