[MilCom] Hobbyists to Charter Aircraft for Military Base Flyovers?

[Ken]

Stand by the fence line to Westover JARB with a scanner, notepad, 
binoculars, & camera  & you get an almost SWAT team response!!  YET I've 
noted recently a small civilian private aircraft calls the KCEF Tower 
(134.85) & basically states, "got a passenger that would like to see 
everything on the base is it ok to fly around?".. Tower responds OK no 
traffic.  Hmm, wonder if the paseenger had a camera, scanner, notepad, & 
binoculars!!! ;)   Again it's a laugh!!!  If you have security than you have 
security not only on the ground but in the air. E.g. NO fly overs the base & 
aircraft can only land (joint use airfield)  and not perform low approaches. 
I've suggested this in the past to appropriate military officials -- so far 
no action taken in the air, BUT on the ground wow!!!!  So I guess that the 
best method is for milcom hobbyists to charter an  aircraft to do some "on 
scene" monitoring as well as photography without incurring any security 
problems!!
