Narrative

I GOT AN IN-PERSON BRIEFING AT THE CASPER FSS. THIS WAS AT ABOUT XA00. 1 HR LATER; LEFT CASPER ARPT FOR IWS ARPT; MAKING A FUEL STOP AT LBL; KS. THEN ABOUT 1 HR LATER; PROCEEDED DIRECT FOR IWS ARPT; MAKING DEVS FOR SEVERAL TSTMS AND FOR MOA'S IN THE VICINITY OF SPS; TX. NE OF WACO; TX; AT 9500 FT; I WAS INTERCEPTED BY 2 F16'S AND WHEN I CONTACTED WACO APCH; WAS INSTRUCTED TO LAND AT WACO REGIONAL ARPT. I DID GET A COMPLETE BRIEFING AT THE CASPER FSS FOR WX; NOTAMS; AND THE LIKE. I HAD ASKED ABOUT RESTR AREAS ALONG THE RTE OF FLT. I WAS TOLD THAT A RESTR AREA EXISTED AT COLORADO SPRINGS; BUT THAT I WOULD BE WELL TO THE E. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT THE WACO-CRAWFORD AREA AND WAS TOLD THAT THE AREA AROUND CRAWFORD WAS A 3 MI RADIUS. I ASKED IF I'D BE OK TO THE E OF WACO AND I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD BE OK. MY WAC CHART (CURRENT ISSUE) SHOWS NO RESTR ZONE AT ALL -- THOUGH I THOUGHT ONE EXISTED. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT; I THOUGHT I WAS CLR. I WAS LISTENING TO 122.8 ON ONE RADIO AND TO 122.0 ON THE OTHER AND SQUAWKING 1200. I WAS AT 9500 FT ON A DIRECT HDG FOR WEST HOUSTON ARPT; AND WAS VFR. IN RETROSPECT; HAD I BEEN ON A VFR FLT PLAN; THE ENRTE CTLR WOULD PROBABLY HAVE KEPT ME FURTHER TO THE E OF WACO; TX.
