Well done, Henry! How high were the cloud bases? Good on ya Bob for suggesting this challenging task around that huge lake. Anyone wondering what the big deal is, look at a map of south Florida. The task around Lake Okeechobee is over alot of wetground. When I was in Miami before I moved to Marfa in southwest Texas in 2001, we flew several times north up to middle of the state avoiding Lake Okeechobee, flying to the west of it before reconnecting with the US highway 27 "ridge" near Sebring.
May I be the first to say congratulations to Henry Redding for finally doing what the purist has been doing for years, he completed the flight around LAKE O. Came close to the MOA on the North side, but managed to get back down to Willis withoutstarting his get me home motor. Good Job R, good to have you as the 5th member of the Lake O club. Old Bob, The Purist
Might I point out that an MOA is not closed airspace? A call to the controlling agency can get you the information that the MOA is active or inactive. That said, you can still fly into an active MOA without consequence, other than the possibility of getting run over by a fast mover.starting his get me home motor. Good Job R, good to have you as the 5th member of the Lake O club. Old Bob, The Purist

I would not take a chance and fly into MOA-2910 as defined, it is RESTRICTED AIRSPACE from ground to 14K. the MOA area outside of 2901 is not restricted. The MOA-2901 is closed unless otherwise noted. There are some days when you can fly through thatarea when the bombing range is closed, sometimes on Sundays and special holidays. OBTP

What/where is MOA-2901? My sectional shows an R-2901, but not a MOA-2901. EricEric it is Identified as MOA2901, you may google and see for yourself. OBTP

It doesn't show on the Sectional as being in an MOA, so I believe is not part of an MOA.What/where is MOA-2901?

Eric, let me help you, the R2901 is a MOA RESTRICTED AREA! Yes, it shows as R-2901, it is a Restricted area because it is a restricted MOA, it is not a Barnum and Bailey Circus. Why is it restricted if it is not a Military Operational Area? You beenIt doesn't show on the Sectional as being in an MOA, so I believe is not part of an MOA.What/where is MOA-2901?

I've emailed you an image of R-5701, a restricted area on the Seattle Sectional, just
south me in Oregon. It does show it has parts in and out of two different MOAs: BOARDMAN
MOA and BOARDMAN AND BOARDMAN LOW MOA.

I hesitate to join this discussion but here goes - There is no such thing as a "MOA Restricted Area". It one or the other and each has different designations and rules about entering. Is an area "restricted" because of something the military is doing?Probably but not always. For example, R-6604 near Wallops Island, Va. is a NASA area so, technically, not military. There is no MOA associated with it. Semantics can be important when dealing government laws, rules and regulations. Just ask the FAA.
MikeMike, the area is noted as Restricted Area any MOA can become a Restricted area for use by the military like it did here in Florida in 2009. The term that is used by the Mission Desk is Military Operating Area R-2901. How do I know this, I speak with
