Ok, so it seems we're all batting from the same wicket when talking about chasing or formating on zone busters - perhaps we can let that one go now.

Maybe proper route planning could avoid this problem.
I would propose that if someone can't be arsed to draw a line on a map then they're even less likely to bother to find out about NOTAM's.
but having seen the reaction of some people to zone infringements, it doesn't surprise me one bit.
When was the last time you had the living crap scared out of you by some wally with his head down following a line on his GPS.
It's not a storm in a tea cup, it's DEADLY serious.
If you are ever passing by then please, please feel free to drop in to WOG, have a cup of tea and watch the operation for half an hour.
I'm sure you will pale at the thought of ever flying through the zone.
Then imagine seeing your friend, partner, son or daughter flying up the wire in a glider as somebody trundles through the overhead oblivious to their position and the potential for disaster.
