Air Combat USA

Unfortunately as a flight instructor I have to deal with this operation on a regular basis as I am training flight students in the same airspace that Air Combat USA uses. Anytime they are maneuvering in the practice area that is commonly used by local pilots the level of safety degrades to an unacceptable level. Their pilots refuse to use standard radio and communication protocols which in turn makes it unsafe, and downright dangerous for themselves, their clients, and those of us sharing the airspace with them. They put everybody at a much higher risk of suffering a midair collision over the open ocean, which would almost certainly resulting in death for all involved.

I would strongly encourage anybody considering this type of activity to look elsewhere to find a more reputable and safer operation.
