Willy doesn't own to 25NM in every direction - stop generalising
It is all he has

Here is some facts in support of 'our' fine military and what they do with airspace

Comparisons

Let’s take a wee trip to Miramar

SkyVector: Flight Planning / Aeronautical Charts

Note:-

- The runway/s orientation
- The size of the SFC to A100 areas around the MCAS
- The adjacent A018 to A100 areas outside the SFC CTR
- The distance to the coast, and the CTA base at the coast
- The other airports and airspace around Miramar

San Diego Int’l (south of Miramar) (similar position and runway orientation with the coast as YWLM)

Note:-

- Its proximity to the coast
- The lack of any coastal lane
- The CTR steps east and west
- The runway orientation
- Where the VFR corridor over the top is, and the altitude requirements.
- The approach and departure tracks to and from

Now try (why anyone would want to is beyond comprehension) and apply any of that to YWLM, especially considering they are not only moving Mil Jets.

Comparatively, considering YWLM is all things to all people in that area, rather than Disk whining like an A grade Pratt, how about he show some appreciation for the military, especially considering the number and complexity of aviation activities they juggle as a matter of course, accommodating folks as and when they can (particularly given the airport layout and geographical position).

As for Disk's new Richmond whinge
I suggest you look at Richmond airspace on the current VTC
Seeing as most proximate military airspace in Australia is adminsitered exactly the same way as in the US, maybe he thinks the US military leadership are suffering from a
complete lack of decision-making ability
as well

Tis a tool!
