Default Aircraft Carrier and airspace?

Yeah, but on what frequency? Chances are they have no idea what frequency
you're on.

My guess is that an aircraft carrier is considered a towered airport...
but how would you know their frequency to make contact? Maybe it's a
portable MOA or restricted airspace. I've never seen anything in the FARs.


Maybe it's "nothing"... after all just a few months ago a pair of Russian
TU-95 Bear bombers overflew the USS Nimitz. One of them flew directly over
the Nimitz at 2000 feet and no one shot them down.

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


Just don't catch the wire with the nose strut... you'd look funny upside
down... :- )
