The agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Kite flying is barred at the park because of the low-flying aircraft in the area. Officers \u201cbriefly confiscated\u201d a kite on Saturday, Ms. McGee said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThat kite was returned to its owner shortly later, and no charges were filed,\u201d Ms. McGee said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It was not immediately known how high the kite was flying or what kind of kite was confiscated. The Federal Aviation Administration said on Sunday that it did not have a report about the kite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jamie Larounis, a travel industry analyst, said in an interview on Sunday that he had reported the kite to the airport police after seeing it make contact with the plane on Saturday while he was walking home from the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He stopped to sit at Gravelly Park for 10 to 15 minutes. He described the park as a \u201cplane spotter\u2019s paradise,\u201d where he sometimes sees people with air traffic control radios watching planes just before they land at the airport.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, people were picnicking, cycling and flying about 10 to 15 kites, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Most of the kites were flying relatively low, he said, but at one point he spotted a green, \u201crun-of-the-mill kid\u2019s kite\u201d flying higher and higher. He said it looked as if two adults and a child were controlling it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">An incoming plane \u201cwas at the right height to come in contact with that kite,\u201d he said, and he watched as the kite reached a side of the plane, between its fuselage and the engine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The kite came down, tangled in itself, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He disputed the description by the police of the kite being \u201cbriefly confiscated,\u201d and said it remained in a police car while the family drove away from the park without it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Larounis called the airport police to report what happened because he was concerned that the kite might have caused damage to the plane that had gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said he was also particularly sensitive to aviation safety after an American Airlines flight collided with an Army helicopter near the airport in January, killing 67 people aboard both aircraft. The F.A.A. has since <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/11\/us\/politics\/dc-plane-crash-ntsb-helicopters.html\" title=\"\">closed the helicopter route<\/a> involved in the crash.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Another concerning episode happened at Reagan National Airport <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/29\/us\/politics\/faa-dca-delta-air-force.html\" title=\"\">on Friday<\/a>, when four U.S. Air Force jets came close to a Delta Air Lines plane that was taking off.
