There is overlap. Yeah. So you have three major airports. There was Class Delta Airport at Missoula, and Kalispell is the same. This is actually Class Bravo. This is the highest level of control of airspace. Alpha sits above that from 18,000 feet and above. So this is all 18,000 feet and below. So there's overlap. We have Baltimore. We have DCA. And I think, which is this? This is the other one.

You have to do special training. It's SF or a special flight rules area. And it's been well over a decade since I've done the it's an online course or it was when I did it. But it's additional rules when you're flying in this area. And it should make sense, because for those of you looking, you can see that I'm moving the cursor around something that is right over here. Guess what that is?
