Just out of curiosity, once again.

Take note, Achmed.
Nothing specifically prohibits training maneuvers in the Washington DC Special Flight Rules Area. However, my airport is situated between DC and Baltimore-Washington International. The BWI Class B controlled airspace extends from 1500 ft upwards over my airport and out to the Chesapeake Bay. Most training maneuvers are performed at 3000 ft (for safety reasons), hence the neeed to fly 20-minutes to get into clear airspace.
