Delta Temporary Military Operation Area Published July 12, 2007 By Alaska Command Public Affairs ELMENDORF AFB, Alaska -- The Air Force would like to thank the Alaska public and Federal Aviation Administration for working with the United States Air Force and allowing the Delta Temporary Military Operation Area (T-MOA), a critical airspace proposal, to become reality. The importance of this additional training space for the Air Force cannot be overstated. The overall goal is to maximize future Joint and Coalition combat training, incorporating the GWOT lessons learned; in order to "train the way we plan to fight' and use 'real-time' airspace management to minimize the impact to commercial, general aviation and other National Airspace System (NAS) users. The Delta T-MOA will begin with the Red Flag-Alaska exercise being conducted from July 16 - 27. The FAA has authorized the U.S. Air Force to use this airspace for a maximum of 2 ½ hours for two periods each day during the 2007 Red Flag Alaska exercises. The Air Force will minimize the airspace user's impact by keeping activation times as short as possible. This will normally result in 1 ½ hour period twice a day during these exercises. The Delta T-MOA is a combination of four MOAs (Delta T-MOA 1, 2, 3 and 4) that run from southeast of Fairbanks to approximately 40 miles southeast of Delta Junction.
