There are speed limits for aircraft. 250 knots below 10,000 feet.

May not apply in military operating areas, but civilian aircraft have to slow down upon descent.

............been in that exact location at least a hundred times and can tell you that there is absolutely NOTHING but cattle, rattle snakes, mesquite and oil rigs under that airplane other than Highway 77 that splits it running north/south.

A few miles to the East of this location is the Gulf of Mexico.

MOA’s are UnControlled Airspace, the FAA Has Authority or Control and there are No Limits operating in the MOA

“There are speed limits for aircraft. 250 knots below 10,000 feet.”
That’s barely over final approach speed for the T-38 that I used to ferry folks from Edwards to LAX. Even at that snail pace, approach control was constantly redirecting us around civilian traffic.

261kt is 300mph

I’m thinkin the Patrolman’s equipment needs calibrating.

...but civilian aircraft have to slow down upon descent...

Especially if they want to softly land and come to a gentle stop.
