What has the ADIZ cost me? About half an hour on a run to Tennessee, plus it
forces me to cut past the first ridge of the Appalachians. Weather in that
pocket could make the run impossible for a VFR pilot like myself. In that case,
a run around the ADIZ to the east would add about an hour to the trip. The super
class-B would do the same.

Why don't you go through the ADIZ? Filing is a five minute process and
getting permission ussually can be done without any delay if you call
10-15 mins before you would enter.

I rarely fly without an ADIZ flight plan, since I'm ussually leaving or
entering it (based in Leesburg).

I just don't see how its costing you 1/2 hour, unless your refering to
the fact that you can't fly through the smaller restricted zone.
