When you live near restricted areas, and you have a legit reason to be flying around them, the military will give you a tactical call sign and let you through if it is safe. If the range is “hot” they will not let you in and you do not want to be in.

Im definetly no pilot, never even flown in a plane, but if I do ever fly anywhere, I really would like to know this is a common attitude of most pilots On Wed, Jun 8, 2016 at 12:27 PM, Sean Heskett <[email protected]> wrote: i usually try to steer clear of bombing ranges when I fly lol. Last time i flew over the grand canyon tho I had 5 "bear cats" (that's how ATC was referring to them over the radio) T-38 jets fly straight towards me and break left at the last minute. I heard ATC talking to them the whole time and ATC was warning me of traffic 12 o'clock coming straight for me. not much I could do except watch them go by since i was going 150kts and they were a bit faster haha. it almost seemed a bit on purpose but who knows, i could only hear what ATC say saying to them, they were responding on another frequency. made the last part of the trip a little less boring, after you cross the canyon it's pretty flat and desolate land for miles.

It is very effective. Bad thing is it jams your central office BITS clocks too!

I've been in the air during a couple (live in CO and fly to SoCal a lot) and never noticed loss of GPS. Looks like a reporter from gizmodo finally noticed this NOTAM and wrote about it. Shouldn't be a problem for any ground based GPS units. And if you own a Phenom 300 then you can just blast up to 45,000ft to avoid the jamming ;) -Sean On Wednesday, June 8, 2016, timothy steele <[email protected]> wrote: Gizmodo: FAA Warns of GPS Outages This Month During Mysterious Tests on the West Coast. http://google.com/newsstand/s/CBIwjLfC_Co -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
