Franklin,

Yes, I'm familiar with MTRs and MTAs. I used to cut through the Atchafalaya Swamp northwest of New Orleans where the USN and USAF go to play. Heading home after flying all night for the Fed, ATC would ask if I would be agreeable to being used for drug interdiction and intercept practice. I'm pretty sure that more than just a few Cajun fishermen spilled their beers after a Cessna 337 with one or two mil birds close behind rocketed past at treetop level!

That was 20 years ago. We probably couldn't do that now!
