Three weeks ago, on a Saturday morning we had a plan on file, opened
with Jonesboro Radio and went trucking off merrily across the
countryside. We arrived at our destination about 2.5 later and
called to
cancel - the plan was never opened. Kind of scary...

VFR or IFR?

VFR - Unless something has changed, isn't an IFR plan is automagically
opened when you are turned over to departure or upon your first airborne
check-in with ATC?
