Andy, look closely and you will see Godman Army Airfield. There is a restriced area that runs north/south from the field stretching to the East but not West. Therefore, one can fly pretty close to the gold. In the pic I am headed about 160 degrees on the west side.

United States Bullion Depository....Fort Knox... :o


Is there a permanent flight restriction over Ft. Knox? Cool shot!

That's pretty cool. I guess your Waiex is no danger to their steel, concrete, and army. :D
