Narrative:

I was working a CRJ2 inbound to orf from the south for a left downwind visual approach. I called ntu approach and gave them a point-out on the CRJ2 descending for orf. A couple of minutes later I hear ntu yelling over the landline for a point-out and I saw a target in a right turn out off of ntu runway 32 climbing. I called traffic to the CRJ2 and he reported the aircraft in sight; and I instructed him to maintain visual separation. The ntu airport is about 3.64 miles from our airspace boundary with ntu approach. We have conditional use airspace that goes active when ntu is on runway 32 but this doesn't seem to be the solution. When their fighters depart runway 32 I believe they are instructed to turn right off the deck; but many times they end up busting our airspace. The problem is compounded greatly when we have aircraft in that vicinity or when we have been given approval to ride the boundary with inbounds to orf. Recommendations that might be considered are airspace redesign or ntu calling orf for release when they are on runway 32.
