Whether there is a reg or not, tanks and humvees do not conduct
training missions on public highways. Same with aerial combat
training. So Larry does have a point about military UAV training over
neighborhoods.

ACM is frequently conducted in MOAs that overly populated areas

I would assume that they take every reasonable efforts to avoid
having to land in urban areas in case of engine trouble, just ilke GA
pilots are required to do. It does seem odd to me that there is a need
to fly these UAVs over populated areas when we have vast open spaces
in this country. Especially in FL, it is not hard to get to the open
waters where no one would notice if you fly a UAV all day long.
