Retirei esta noticia do airsoft-news.

Em algumas palavras, um grupo de airsoft foi jogar para uma zona protegida junto a uma base aérea tendo avisado a Policia e militares. Contudo o que eles não sabiam era que o Presidente Obama ia lá passar pela base e ninguém avisou a segurança do Presidente do jogo. Jogo este que apostava fortemente nos acessórios com um sistema de misseis antiaéreo, bombas e diversos Àrabes.
Ficaram muito surpreendidos com um helicóptero que apareceu durante o jogo e que estava sempre a pairar como que a vigia-los. Eventualmente a protecção do Presidente deve ter contactado a policia local e sabido o que se estava ali a passar, até porque depois passou o Heli do Presidente por eles. Caso eles não tivessem tido os procedimentos de segurança correctos de avisar aos donos e autoridade o que iam fazer acho que o jogo deles teria sido uma história dos COPS com uma excelente viagem para Guantanamo

I guess I should share a little news for once. Yesterday (8/23) the US President Barack Obama was landing at Otis Airforce Base in Mashpee MA to start a 1 week vacation on Marthards Vineyard, however about half a mile away in conservation land, a group of airsofters, myself included, had completely forgotten he was coming in that day. Notably, as any responsible airsoft group does, we had notified the local police, and because of our proximity to the AFB, the military as well, but the Presidents protection had not been notified. During a break a blue and white helicopter began circling us, and for about 15 minutes buzzed around, while we on the ground became increasingly perplexed as to its purpose, it then came closer and closer, until it hovered directly over us. After doing this for about 3 minutes, it began circling again. Notably this was a day in which we were heavily utilizing props, including, 1 SAM site, and 3 hollowed out 300lb bombs, great day for it right? Luckily they must have contacted local authorities and decided (despite a few of us dressed in Arabic garb) we weren't a threat. About an hour later, we had the honor of having the President fly directly over us in Marine 1. So let this be a lesson to all airsoft groups, always make sure to notify the proper authorities about your games, you never know who might fly over. (Granted we'd have had some great pics of the military paracording off blackhawks to pacify us if we hadn't)
