Or, conversely the numbers of deaths of military pilots due to
mid-airs with GA pilots operating cluelessly in restricted, warning,
prohibited airspace, MOAs and oil burner routes. It's a two-edged
sword, Larry.


IIRC, Ed, only in prohibited airspace can a mil pilot not expect to
encounter a civil VFR.


That is what we have restricted areas for -- not to be done in congested
airspace.



Which is it, Orv?



Both restricted and prohibited airspace are "sterile." Actually,
military aircraft also should not be in *prohibited* airspace, OTW, it
is *restricted* airspace.

MOAs, Warning areas and Oil Burner routes are joint use, so we can
expect anybody to be there legally.
