Someone who does plane flying tell me how splattered on the ground a little bug in a Cessna would be if they flew into an area that was specifically declared as a Warning Area to ATC?

I'm on boat internet right now so I can't watch the video, but if it's actually a Warning Area, it's not that big a deal. Warning Areas/MOAs can be loving huge, and for overland ones it's not uncommon for civil traffic to transit through them. It just means any military aircraft using the area have to be extra diligent about avoiding them. Restricted areas are much smaller and a bigger deal if you violate them.

I mean, it's not a good idea, but they aren't going to shoot you down for it

How would you fly through an MOA if you had to? Broadcast your position and movement details on guard?

Squawk VFR and fly a predictable route, mostly. There aren't any communication requirements, and its over to the military to ensure they don't hit anyone. The MOA I'm most familiar with has a VFR corridor running through the middle of it, and we'd pretty routinely have helicopters flying through to visit remote mines and towns. We set a minimum altitude requirement for the military aircraft to keep them above the bug smasher and maybe give a traffic callout if they're getting near the action.

I hope that DJT isn’t indicted on the basis that U.S. Marshals lack jurisdiction in Hell.

Surely that would qualify as hot pursuit, though? :dadjoke:

This is fantastic. I lost my poo poo at the literally hammer-fired pistol.
