Pine Gap has a Restricted Area, Surface to Fl180.
Nuclear power plants are designed to withstand the impact of a loaded
727. The idiot manager of the plant (Was his name Homer Simpson?)
could have Googled "gliders" and found there was no threat to the
plant. Note there wasn't a restricted area which he also should know.
So there's a worry. Sure hope he knows how to run the plant.
Interesting legal contortions the court did to get Duke Energy et al
off the hook.
So what else can't you fly over? Chemical plants? Oil refineries?
Water reservoirs? etc etc etc. Once this nonsense gets going there
will be no end to it. I wonder if western civilisation will ever
accept aviation as a normal daily activity? There's only been 114
years to get used to it.

By all accounts, you would have all this and more if you overfly
places like Pine Gap.
I tried to not even look at it when I flew past.
