The lesson all involved can take from this incident is to comply with
the regulations and commonsense good-practices contained in the
appropriate aviation documents (AIM for civil). VFR civil flights
need to contact the MOA controlling authority to coordinate transition
through the MOA before departure as part of flight planning while on
the ground, and the military needs to comprehend the concept of
joint-use airspace.


There's nothing to coordinate, VFR aircraft are free to transit MOAs if they
so choose. Radar traffic advisories may be available and are certainly a
good idea, but that's true in or out of a MOA. ATC may not be in
communications with military aircraft in the MOA or have ready
communications with the using agency to make them aware of the presence of
VFR aircraft in the MOA.



If the military finds a VFR civil flight in the MOA with them, and
they feel that it unnecessarily hinders their training missions, they
need to work through the system to have the procedures, regulations or
airspace classification modified. The military should not use their
taxpayer funded hardware to audaciously intimidate the very citizen
taxpayers whom they serve, _legally_ (but perhaps imprudently)
operating within the NAS, least they bring dishonor upon themselves.


Have the airspace modified in what way?
