Unpowered aircraft have right-of-way over powered.

A friend and I were wave soaring on the secondary one day in SoCal, unfortunately pretty much in the middle of a MTR (Military Training Route,about 8000’.

B1 bomber appears waay to the north,and straight at us. Should we leave, or hope he’s looking at his ‘dar (we in a big aluminum plane, and motionless).

Just as we are getting to one of those go/no-go decision-points, he executes a big ol’ 180 around us, couple of miles out.

Guess he’d been having a good day (and makes up for the number of times Edwards jet jocks busted our home-drome airspace.)
