Default Desert MOA's

Nice epitaph - "He had the right-of-way"


That concept is something I suspect everyone learns about when they first
learn to cross streets. (Though it appears it's worth Usenet "points". ;-)
)

I presume Nyal meant to use "Wasn't the subject line MOA?" as a rhetorical
question somehow. If he meant "You should expect military traffic in an
MOA" then I don't see how that expectation differs from standard
expectations of traffic in any airspace and the dangers of see-and-avoid
complacency.

But it brings up a question that I as a student would be interested in
hearing opinions on: given that "He had the right-of-way" is a lousy
epitaph, how many posters conclude from that (or other lines of thought)
that it is never (for themselves at least) advisable to fly a glider into
an active MOA - or one that you don't have information on current activity
status?
