This question was brought up in another group and never answered.


Assume you are flying off the coast of Hawaii and can see an aircraft
carrier group in the distance. *Is there an airspace classification around
it? *What's to keep you from buzzing it at 1,000 feet (other than a couple
of Phalanx shooting at you :- )


*You will be called and warned off of the radio, if that does not get it,
you will be intercepted, if that doesn't get it, you will be filled with hot
lead, or tungsten, or whatever stuff they make hot these days.

I still think declaring an emergency and landing on a carrier would be worth
the hassle. *Maybe! g

That pretty much happened off 'Nam, didn't it, on the Midway? Guy was
bringing his family out during the evacuation of Saigon. Remember the
pictures of 'copters being pushed over the side? That was to make
room so the little bird dog of an airplane could land. He landed
safely, btw,
