You guys are making it sound like illegitimately busting the thing was inevitable. I fly inside the ADIZ and haven't left the pattern yet, but I need an ADIZ flight plan and a Mode C every time. For a -350 (or anything for that matter) cutting through, isn't it just a question of calling Potomac approach, telling 'em your intentions, and asking for a squawk? It sounds like the bottom line-- for this most recent aircraft and for almost 100% of the previous cases-- is that people just don't know where the heck they are. If they DO know where they are, they should also know that, among the good old ones like "Don't take off without visually checking your tanks" and "Don't get low and slow and skid your turn to final", they should pay attention to what the heck they're doing over Washington of all places. And P-40 too, that's another classic one.
In related news-- I don't have a GPS setup yet-- does anybody (Garmin, Lowrance or whatever software companies might be applicable) have a mapping program that outlines the ADIZ? As in here's the bright yellow (or red or chartreuse or whatever lights your fire) line.... compadre..... WHICH YOU MAY NOT CROSS WITHOUT GETTING YOUR ACT TOGETHER? I'm sure something like that is out there, but if not it couldn't hurt.
