Are there IFR and VFR flight plans?


Yes, but our resident fighter pilot asserts:

Regardless, the flight plan type for the military is IFR.

If that were true, it prompts my questioning the need for VFR MTRs.


But he wrote that in response to your question. So what prompted you to ask
it?


It was largely rhetorical.

If Mr. Rasimus' assertion, that the flight plan type for the military
is IFR is correct, and MTRs are created for military use, why are
there VFR MTRs? Presumably the military won't be operating VFR on VFR
MTRs.

The military can and does operated on VFR routes, but they are still
on an IFR flight plan.

Why would you doubt my "assertion"? Do you have any military aviation
experience? Would I lie to you?
