Military Airspace

Ugly

Whilst the Military use of airspace is important to many of us, I believe that discussion on it has taken a back seat to some of the other issues that many consider more important (at this time).

I believe that over the past 10 years or so much of the military activity has been undertaken with civil inconvenience a consideration at the planning stage. It is certainly a lot better that in the 70's and 80's (and earlier of course).

The proposals as outlined have been pushed for many years and I would like to think that these proposals will free up much airspace and increase the flexibility of its use by civil users.

The management of military airspace is also a consideration, especially in recent times where military ATC resources are not as large as they used to be. Except for a few key locations I see civil ATC being responsible for what is now military airspace in the not too distant future.
