Just hit Fox--they performed true-to-form.

"he even flew next to a nuclear power plant"

Did he fly next to a nuclear power plant?

He had to. His airport is located right next door to one.

Which one is that? Palo Verde Nuclear Plant, out here, has been restricted
airspace for years.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Damn...Palo Verde has AA missiles on it's site now...and it's only 20 miles
from Luke AFB...with a load of F-16's. Of course, those F-16's are scattered
all over the landscape....

This is the first I've heard on any nuclear plants actually being equipped with
SAMs. I wonder what unit it is and who is picking up the tab. Is there a NOTAM
anywhere that deadly force could be employed against aircraft getting too close,
or even a definition of what too close would be?

Yes that is a Nuke plant in the upper left, but those are only the cooling
towers.

No, no ROE that I've seen anywhere.

Sorry 'bout coming in late on this one, but I was catching up on the
newsgroup and this caught my eye.

Tom, as far as I can tell, there is no restricted airspace currently
around Palo Verde. I certainly don't recall it from years past
either. As for AA missiles, I flew past the plant last weekend and
didn't see a single smoke trail. Where did you get this info?

As far as I know, there's only that catchall NOTAM requesting that
you avoid loitering over the plant.
