I just check, there is no TFR listed today in the entire state of South Carolina.

Anytime the military does anything or Air Force one is in the air, TFRs (temporary flight restrictions) are issued.

A TFR has to be issued for military jets operating low and outside of training lanes. (there are a ton of training lanes in Florida and out west) They are not called training lanes, the name escapes me.

MOA, Military Operations Airspace. And it's not restricted, VFR pilots can legally fly into them and the military is required to avoid that traffic. Restricted airspace is obviously restricted unless the FAA says you can fly through it. Restricted airspace is normally over live fire ranges or missile testing.

They are called VR routes. We have two in the BTR airspace, one crosses I-12 near Walker and the other is up near Amite - Kentwood area. They are very low level VFR training routes. Most of the aircraft that use them in our area are BE40'S(military trainer version).

I am not implying the F16 was on a VR route.
