Default Regs regarding "VFR flight following?" (also: "need to vent")

Irrelavant. He was below the class C which puts him well away from
traffic at those points.


Not quite sure I agree with this.

Looking back on his post, he was OUTSIDE class C flying straight and level.
He didn't give his altitude, but if he was 2000 feet or higher, he could
have easily been in an approach fix altitude that is located outside
charlie airspace.

Case in point around my area. Wouldn't be a good idea to fly around the
JAN VOR that is located outside KJAN charlie airspace with is an initial
approach fix at 2000 feet for incoming IFR traffic.

I'd sure want to be squawking and talking in that area! Could make for a
very bad day for the arrival and enroute traffic if one wasn't talking.
