I wish. There’s a permanent restricted airspace around the capitol. In the before times, an unauthorized aircraft would get in serious trouble with the FAA. Nowadays with the sycophantic dictator in charge, who knows what could happen.
But it’d be a damn cool way to say your last words.
Bro if you’re flying in restricted airspace near govt buildings you know what happens. You get intercepted by a fighter jet and either have a friendly escort out of the restricted area or you make friends with a missile and get obliterated.
I would not recommend trying to find out which will happen.
On a related note:
I’ve been wondering if drones could be adapted to essentially act as glide bombs that could operate without direct control input. Those probably would get around most protections especially if they had a glide slope that they’d stay on if their systems were jammed electronically. Like they get launched, fly to whatever altitude they need to be at to take a long glide down, and just go for pre programmed coordinates.
That’s probably something the war in Ukraine has either made a thing or it was tried and found to be dumb but I’ve not done research on it.
It’s not like civilians are gonna get their hands on true missiles and launch systems. But civies could find a way to put together some drones packed with explosives pretty easily I imagine.
I think you’re right about Ukraine doing such a thing. IIRC they used drones to destroy some Russian supply depots a month or two ago. Though I think those were cabled? Which I had never heard of until then, but hey, if it works it works.
May as well hire a skywriter to put “TRUMP RAPED KIDS” above the Capitol.

Can we crowdfund this?
