Flying Restricted Airspace

Don't ever expect overflight of dreamland. Even military pilots w/top secret
clearances get in DEEP doodoo over busting airspace during exercises in the
other R areas.

If I want to fly in some restricted airspace - nevermind the reason -
how is
that done?
The chart says the controlling authority is ZLC Center. That's Salt Lake
ARTCC, right?
So if I'm flying VFR, what do I do?
Do I find any low alt freq to the SLC ARTCC in the AF/D and call "Salt
Lake
Center. 1234X Request transition through R12345"

Oh yeah, how do we know you are not a terrorist *smile*.

You don't know.


Or work for a terrorist that doesn't want to fly....

I would suspect the area would be restricted for photo opportunities as
well, so taking snapshots may be one of the reasons for restricted
airspace.

Why else would you want to overfly a restricted area? Inquiring minds
like to know....

If you've ever been flying around SLC, you'd see three things.
1. Class B.
2. Mountains 10000 MSL tall
3. Restricted Airspace.

Basically If something is not #2, then it is #3 or #1
So it's good to get to know the ins and outs of about 50% of my airspace.

Some of the R area near Edwards AFB and Ft Irwin Army Base covers the
"Goldstone Communications" center. That is the local "space communications"
for Huston Control and any of the shuttles that may be flying and the
International Space station.. also any far reaching exploring missions that
are out there.. Don't ever expect to get cleared to close to that antenna..
so you don't block their reception.

This is for your own protection.
Some of those transmitters will put out enough radiated power in a very tight
beam that at normal altitudes (not the FL's) it would make a microwave oven
look like a childs toy.

Yeah, I grew up in that part of California and had many friends who worked at
Goldstone. If a bird flew across the 210 ft. Mars dish while it was transmitting
it would disappear in a puff of smoke.

You won't get that with a restricted area. Either they'll tell you "sure, no
problem", assign you a different altitude, or tell you to avoid the area.

The actions taken by the New Hampshire Episcopalians (ie. inducting a gay
bishop) are an affront to Christians everywhere. I am just thankful that
the church's founder, Henry VIII, and his wife Catherine of Aragon, and his
wife Anne Boleyn, and his wife Jane Seymour, and his wife Anne of Cleves,
and his wife Katherine Howard, and his wife Catherine Parr are no longer
here to suffer through this assault on traditional Christian marriages.

Any tips?

I don't know if there's an official way to ask, but what I always hear is
something like, "hey, center, is R12345 hot today?"
