Default Stafford VA?

FWIW, locals tend to keep the ADIZ squawk for a few miles when leaving the
ADIZ - even if ATC comes confirms we're outside.


I actually did just that and kept my squawk until I landed. I figured it
can't hurt and only help. As an aside, the routing they gave me to RMN was
changed to a shortcut with a direct-to to Nottingham (OTT). It put me *very*
close to the FRZ. I had my Garmin 496 with the XM-provided TFR data so I had
the equipment to stay clear but I requested a slightly better vector anyhow
to be sure. I also wanted it on record that I was cognizant of the FRZ in
case anything gets screwed up.

Thanks for the tips John.
