Can someone answer. Was this activation of such a huge area for one FA18. And how did it get through the link airspace between Richmond and Williamtown.?

Also how come the home for US Navy's entire West Coast fleet at Lemoore Naval Airstation with 175 active FAA18s only requires class D airspace of 4.3 mm radius to 2700' with visual exempt class E above to 18000'?

Why can't the tower at Willy use class D airspace when there is no military traffic present as recommended by CASA?

This would reduce holding of aircraft at Nobbys and Anna Bay. One day a family with young kids is going to end up in the ocean after orbiting at 500' at Anna Bay.
