Bigwindy,

I think it would take more than a light aircraft to cause a big bang (have you seen the wall thickness of a reactor shell) but it would still make one hell of a nasty mess. Strangely enough, those danger areas on your chart are not there just for fun people.

Skylark4,
It seems that people don't appreciate the following :

a) a steel cable WILL cut your wings off.

b) a parachutist WILL knock your wings off

c) a glider head on is EXTREMELY difficult to see

Back in the days when RAF Brawdy was active, we had a Hawk come through the (800') circuit at 500'. Scared the living daylights out of a poor guy in a C150. Ask anybody who flew in East Anglia when the A-10's were there what a pain they were.
