Restricted vs. MOA's.. it's an interesting airspace mess to need to
fly around.. Lot's and Lot's of MOA's fewer restricted areas, and if
you are around either one you need to really do your homework. That
said the guys at Edwards are a great group of controllers always willing
to work with civilian traffic and, if the opportunity is there will let
you be an interception target, a witness to cool stuff ( think B2
refueling ), or just a bug on the wall when they can't talk about it but
can give you a visual vector...

If the range is “hot” they will not let you in and you do not want to be
in.

"i usually try to steer clear of bombing ranges when I fly lol."
Im definetly no pilot, never even flown in a plane, but if I do ever fly
anywhere, I really would like to know this is a common attitude of most
pilots

Last time i flew over the grand canyon tho I had 5 "bear cats"
(that's how ATC was referring to them over the radio) T-38 jets fly
straight towards me and break left at the last minute. I heard ATC
talking to them the whole time and ATC was warning me of traffic 12
o'clock coming straight for me. not much I could do except watch
them go by since i was going 150kts and they were a bit faster
haha. it almost seemed a bit on purpose but who knows, i could only
hear what ATC say saying to them, they were responding on another
frequency. made the last part of the trip a little less boring,
after you cross the canyon it's pretty flat and desolate land for miles.

If you fly in the blue restricted zones of the Wendover Bombing
Range or the Utah Test and Training Range, you will notice when
they are testing. It is very effective. Bad thing is it jams
your central office BITS clocks too!

The FAA has been issuing NOTAMS like that for a while now. I've
been in the air during a couple (live in CO and fly to SoCal a
lot) and never noticed loss of GPS. Looks like a reporter from
gizmodo finally noticed this NOTAM and wrote about it.
Shouldn't be a problem for any ground based GPS units. And if
you own a Phenom 300 then you can just blast up to 45,000ft to
avoid the jamming ;)

If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team
