Default airspace question

or see how much flexibility you might have to go around/above it; a thing
that has happened to me coming back from the Bay Tour, talking to approach,
was to hear them say as soon as I left class B: 'radar service terminated,
squawk VFR, resume own navigation' while already inside SQL class D...

ooops.

I was not talking to SQL since I was talking to approach, so all set as far
as going through the class Ds of airports along the way... the SQL guy was a
bit upset. So, from then on, I fly the return flight over/westish hwy 280
(all they ask for is that you remain west of hwy 101) which puts me well
clear of SQL airspace, just in case.
