Might I point out that an MOA is not closed airspace? A call to the
controlling agency can get you the information that the MOA is active or
inactive. That said, you can still fly into an active MOA without
consequence, other than the possibility of getting run over by a fast mover.

What/where is MOA-2901? My sectional shows an R-2901, but not a MOA-2901.

> The sectional shown R-2901, it is also known as the MOA-R2901, July 29,2010 it was taken in from the MOA Meridian, Miami center refers to it as MOA R-2901. So what you are saying is that it is not part of a MOA? OBTP
It doesn't show on the Sectional as being in an MOA, so I believe is not part of an MOA.
I've emailed you an image of R-5701, a restricted area on the Seattle Sectional, just
south me in Oregon. It does show it has parts in and out of two different MOAs: BOARDMAN
MOA and BOARDMAN AND BOARDMAN LOW MOA.

I hesitate to join this discussion but here goes - There is no such thing as a "MOA Restricted Area". It one or the other and each has different designations and rules about entering. Is an area "restricted" because of something the military is doing? Probably but not always. For example, R-6604 near Wallops Island, Va. is a NASA area so, technically, not military. There is no MOA associated with it. Semantics can be important when dealing government laws, rules and regulations. Just ask the FAA.

I didn't mean to imply that the military isn't operating there. Clearly, it is. Just nitpicking because I had nothing better to do.
