Government agencies are not required to abide by the FAR's. Many do to
make it easier on themselves but they are not required to.

Which would be a case of them thinking that is what is good enough for us is
not good enough for them... That might be how it works, but it doesn't make
it *right*...

I don't think that's how it works. I can recall special exceptions
for the military in certain circumstances (such as MOAs or military
aircraft on interception missions--which doesn't include training),
but that's all.

Nothing makes government aircraft immune to midair collisions, so
there's no particular reason why they should have any blanket
exemption from Federal air regulations.
