It's funny how the only guys screaming "I can fly through it if I want and you can't stop me" are the guys who have never actually operated in a MOA. Every military pilot who I know who also fly GA NEVER fly through an active MOA.
I also avoid the ones around UPT bases like the plague... you never know when a solo T-38 stud is going to come blitzing 10 NM out the side of a MOA at 350 knots and 6.5 G's looking for his IP lead just to avoid calling "Two's Blind." Because then I... I mean the "anonymous student" would have had to buy a case of beer for the flight room and suffer untold embarrassment.

If someone says don't touch that, it's hot (figuratively or literally), don't.
Hmmmmm, now the IFR in VMC routing around the hot MOA makes sense.

3-4-4. Warning Areas
A warning area is airspace of defined dimensions, extending from three nautical miles outward from the coast of the U.S., that contains activity that may be hazardous to nonparticipating aircraft. The purpose of such warning areas is to warn nonparticipating pilots of the potential danger. A warning area may be located over domestic or international waters or both.

The guy arguing with ATC about the WA/MOA is just a typical weekend in FL. Soooo many weekend warriors in FL it isn't even funny. I cringe going into uncontrolled fields sometimes because I've had a number of close calls because of these idiots.

I nominate the gate American Eagle Gate Agent working flight 4404 today from JFK to RDU. I know you’ve all read or heard the same story before. I get to the gate 10 minutes before departure. She said, “Sorry flight closed.” I said, but I’ve travelled half way round the world and have a wedding to attend in Raleigh this afternoon. I’m on a full fare ticket… not Zed, nor jump seat… full fare customer. She said. “Sorry flight closed.” I asked if she could at least pick up the phone and do demonstrate some customer service. Again she said, “Sorry flight closed.” Yep… I definitely nominate this Gabronie for Tool of the Day.
Great customer service American Airlines… keep it up.
