Default New MOAs proposed near Marine Corp base and Mt Patterson

It's ever so much more comfortable to roll and pull rather than to push
over and dangle in the straps.Â* But you need a pretty decent roll rate
to avoid clogging the pitot tube with dirt.

I have no proof of the above, just kind of makes sense.

It's ALWAYS good to comment on new airspace proposals.

My last glider flight was over 90% inside 3 MOAs. This is quite normal.
It's fun flying in MOAs. Once engaged an F-16, with him off my nose hit the PTT: "guns, guns, guns, I just shot down a fighter" and had the F-16 pilot reply he was reaching for the eject handle.
An A-6 pilot managed to sneak up on me in the Champ, came from the left wing blind spot and roared accross in front of me. All I could think was "YOU *******!".
Learned too, that F-111s roll inverted and pull to go over a ridgeline.
Fortunately we have Joshua Approach, which does a very good job with traffic awareness. Monitoring their freqs, you hear aircraft being informed about gliders "maneuvering". We must look to them as if we're drunk and can't hold a heading or speed.
Still have no desire to install ADS-B.
