Sleeping Beauty & Military Operations Area??

Our Gatlinburg shenanigans is over and it's time to fly back home to Chicago Aurora Airport. Jaime and I discuss the trip for you guys. Then she decides to crawl in the back and take a nap. While being lonely I discuss my thoughts on MOA's (Military Operations Area) and flights within.

Way back in the days, I was up with a student pilot doing "turns around a point" at 800 ft, when a F-16 blasted by *below* us! Well, that woke me up!

[@310Pilot]

That's pretty neat. I've never seen that in all my GA flying. I did get a ride on an F16 once where we went below a 172 while at 500-1000 agl doing 300+ kts. That was pretty wild. :)

Ha ha...I reckon it gets a little faster when you do it all day for a living. Watch me tile a bathroom and then watch a pro do it. They are much much faster than me.

You certainly need a trained ear for it. I suppose it reflects how busy it can be in the air sometimes?

I believe it Gwen. I'm hoping to make our first appearance down there later this year. I've seen them on the chart more frequently out that way but didn't realize they were active at our GA altitudes. In your case I'd go through than not fly! :) Around us it's easy to turn 20 left and add 2 min to your flight to go around them. Looking forward to our west coast swing so I can show the folks some of the differences.

I don't mean to suggest how you manage your site, but it strikes me that a lot of non-pilots (and some pilots) might not know how to manage displaced thresholds. In fact, I think this may be the first aviation video I've seen that demonstrated taking off from within one. Well done. This also leads to a question. I seem to have noticed a lot more displaced thresholds around the country than what I remember from when I was flying (stopped back in the '90s). What's up with that? In fact, I remember ARR 27 as not being displaced. Just checked my 1987 edition of the State of Illinois Airport Directory--no displace threshold at ARR. Of course, back then, there was no 15/33, either...
