Looks like clean-up was a success. Hope to get out there next year. Snapped this yesterday on my way from LA to NY.

That wasn't a commercial flight was it?

Yes it was. I am a pilot for Virgin America. Do the LA - NY trip a lot. Usually we fly to far south of Dumont to get any decent pics. Gotta a shortcut from ATC which allowed me to take that one. Want to get one of Coral Pink next.

Had me wondering, I knew it used to be a controlled air space with a 3000 ft ceiling when I was buzzin around the in the late '80s. So with it being a military flight area does it have a over/under limit like under 3k and when issued by ATC above 30+k or just when no military flights planned? Just curious :rockwoot:

The restricted area runs just south of Dumont. Basically runs along I-15. Most of the areas in CA and NV run from the ground to 60,000'. Being a Sat., the airspace wasn't hot and they let us cut the corner.
