A guy in my battalion at Ft Meade stole a helicopter and landed it on the White House. Didn't know him.

Now there's an interesting story which I've never heard. And sure enough, there's a wiki page for it.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1974_White_House_helicopter_incident

This is my favorite part...

"Some 300 rounds were fired, but only five hit Preston, causing superficial wounds. He exited the helicopter and started running towards the White House, but was tackled to the ground by Secret Service agents. Handcuffed, Preston was taken to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center for overnight treatment, where he arrived smiling and "laughing like hell."
