Ever get permission to fly through R-5107B?

[PeterNSteinmetz]

Any of the New Mexico pilots know if GA pilots ever get permission to fly through restricted area 5107B on the White Sands missile range?

This one can represent a big detour when flying east or west through that part of NM. So just curious if this is ever flown through.

Out of curiosity, do they ever allow a GA plane to go thru any restricted area?

Yes. My understanding is that it is frequently approved in some restricted areas. For example, I was told direct flights from Nogales to Sierra Vista are often approved. It depends on the local usage patterns.
