I either am flying IFR or VFR with flight following if I am headed mor ethan about 40NMs. Today was a wonderful flying day. I headed up to Oshkosh and grabbed flight following form MKE-APP almost all the weay there. Had only one traffic call. Hardly anyone else was up.
On the way back from Oshkosh I decided to play with my handheld radio. It also has the ham band for 2m FM voice on it. So I plugged it in and put my headset on. I proceeded to have seveal conversation with people. I did not have flight following and I was not even listening to ATC. I did keep an eye out looking for traffic but saw none. This got me thinking about how many people fly longer distances without any sort of flight following?
