Do you fly around that area much? If you did, you'd know what a hazard is created whenever the Marines conduct a full-scale exercise, as they did this last weekend. Despite NOTAMs and flyers on FBO bulletin boards, idiots still continue to blunder into those hot areas, threatening not only their own lives, but the lives of the military aircrews operating there. You know the type I'm talking about; the 60-something pilot who's flown that What does the age of the pilot have to do with it? coastline a thousand times so he doesn't own a current terminal chart, never bothers to check NOTAMs, doesn't feel comfortable talking to SoCal so he doesn't, never bothers to check FBO bulletin boards, etc, etc. Basically your airborne Sunday driver. Now, I'm sure you're saying, "well, that type of pilot won't even know about the restricted area". He'll find out when ATC asks him to jot down a telephone number. And by-the-by, R-2503A already encompasses the airspace in question from the surface to 2000 ft. |
