UNAUTH PENETRATION OF AIRSPACE. PROX OF RESTRICTED AREA. NMAC WITH MIL FIGHTER.

Narrative

ON APR/XX/95 AFTER REFUELING IN W POINT; VIRGINIA AT ABOUT XA00 PM I WAS FLYING SE TO OCRACOKE ISLAND; NC. ABOUT 20 MI SW OF NORFOLK I CONTACTED ZDC AND REQUESTED STATUS OF THE VARIOUS RESTRICTED AREAS ALONG MY RTE. I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT GIANT KILLER ON 118.125 TO RECEIVE AN UPDATE. I GAVE GIANT KILLER A POS RPT AND MY DEST AND ASKED FOR THE CURRENT STATUS OF VARIOUS RESTRICTED AREAS ALONG MY RTE. I WAS TOLD THAT R-5301; R-5302; AND R-5313 WERE ALL ACTIVE. I THEN FLEW TO THE E OF R-5302 AND THEN PROCEEDED THROUGH THE EASTERN PORTION OF R-5314 AS IT WAS NOT MENTIONED AS BEING ACTIVE. THIS RTE WOULD ALLOW ME TO FLY W OF R-5313 TOWARDS MY DEST AT OCRACOKE. WHILE IN THIS AIRSPACE I NOTICED 3 MIL FIGHTERS TO MY R. ONE OF THESE FIGHTERS FLEW DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH ME ABOUT 200 FT BELOW ME. I TOOK NO EVASIVE ACTION AND THERE WAS NO FURTHER CONTACT WITH THESE ACFT. MY XPONDER WAS SET TO 1200 IN THE MODE C POS. I FEEL THAT IF I DID INTERFERE WITH A MIL EXERCISE WITHIN THE R-5314 AIRSPACE; I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY EITHER ZDC OR GIANT KILLER THAT THIS AIRSPACE WAS IN USE.
