Was there any truth to the story I heard when I got to GU about the flight path being changed to fly over campus because Marion Barry got ticked off at the school over something? |

None whatsoever. The decision on flight paths is clearly that of the FAA and associated governmental agencies, not the District.

It is also Cabinet-level departments. In some respects, I think the flight pattern goes through Georgetown due to the no-fly zone imposed by Secret Service/DHS/FAA over downtown and the Mall area.

Agree with what you're saying, but DC does have some nominal input/control. Reason being that after 9/11, the FAA switched the flight path from going down the Potomac, to going essentially down Wisconsin Ave/355 from MD. However, after about 1 month, the outcry from residents was so high that the FAA reversed their decision and sent planes flying down the river again.
