Restricted Areas
Restricted area R-2508 extends from FL200 upward to unlimited and is shared-use airspace. Individual restricted areas within the R-2508 Complex include R-2502N, R-2502E, R-2505, R-2506, R-2515, and R-2524. These internal restricted areas have vertical dimensions of surface to unlimited, except for R-2506, which extends from surface to 6,000 feet MSL. The internal restricted areas are "managed" by individual military agencies, which may release those areas-in their entirety or in part-by establishing an overflight altitude for FAA/Department of Defense joint use. The released airspace becomes part of the basic R-2508 Complex.

Famous quotes containing the words restricted and/or areas:
“Growing up means letting go of the dearest megalomaniacal dreams of our childhood. Growing up means knowing they can’t be fulfilled. Growing up means gaining the wisdom and skills to get what we want within the limitations imposed by reality—a reality which consists of diminished powers, restricted freedoms and, with the people we love, imperfect connections.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“The planet on which we live is poorly organized, many areas are overpopulated, others are reserved for a few, technology’s potential is only in part realized, and most people are starving.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
