Most lemoore flights still go to R-2508, W-283/205 and the Fallon Range. There are 5 lemoore moas (A through E). Lemoore NAS is right on the line between B and C. A is off to the NW of Lemoore and D and E are to the south. For BFM i think they can only do that in A, D and E because the floor is down to 5,000 on these moas. The floor for B and C is higher up because they are over more populated areas. All these moas go up to only 23,000. I have seen BFM in the A and D moas. In B and C i have heard them do silmulated level bombing. http://skyvector.com/ shows the locations.
Also, one further note on the Fallon range and the FAA SUA page. When it shows only the fallon restricted airspaces active and not the associated moas and ATCAAs, nothing is flying then. F-18s need the larger moas to be active in order to fly the mission there.
