True: the military have their own maps, there own areas, often with poorly funded police forces you may find military choppers on loan to the police, and often too the pilots are in training, and often are just jealous of the wages, the cops are making over the military guys, so aviation co operation is vital if he's gonna get this mission thru. in other words, the pilot is ordered here, but it don't mean he's gonna enjoy it.
So if you have the military flying around your zone ...get the relevant map for the situation, but above all, watch out the the local '500 (Huey 500)thats contracted out to the police.. these are the hungry hawks, of your space, they are just ordinary chopper pilots, with considerable army/police skill, can fly his bird, with his eyes closed, often does, or just eyeballing your plants, as he flies by...he loves to fly ...lives to fly and has every intention of doing the very same next year ...even if you are locked up, he needs growers ..to be arrested, so he gets paid the big money to be hired again next season ..sounds sh!t ...but it true
As for military craft flying around the country side..?
All military craft have to share the uncontrolled air space with civil craft call-signs and awareness are compulsory ..tho in many remoter areas, military craft do take unnecessary risks, thus are seen as Jerks by the civil community of which many once belonged.
Also many use the military as a stepping stone to get cheap flying lessons in..these are the dumbest jerks ever, most are failures in civil life, and can be seduced with a beer or toke for more inside info, of your area, be warned tho MATZ (military air traffic zones) can be very large ...good luck
