Military Use
The airspace over Panamint Valley is part of the US military's vast R-2508 Special Use Airspace complex (External Link). The Panamint Military Operating Area (MOA) covers the entire valley north to Hunter Mountain from 200' AGL up to FL180 with an ATCAA located above the same are from FL180 up to FL600. The airspace is primarily used by military aircraft from Nellis AFB, Edwards AFB, NAWS China Lake, and NAS Lemoore for high and low altitude mission training. Military aircraft utilize radio communications on 291.6MHz or 120.25MHz while operating in the Panamint MOA; however, military aircraft throughout the R-2508 complex often use 315.9MHz when conducting low altitude operations below 1500' AGL.
