Cleared for Takeoff
Okay, I know you need a flight plan, either VFR or IFR to cross a border but a question occured to me - is there any requirement to file that with the country of your departure? Say I am departing an airport in Canada within 10 miles of the border to return to the US, can I file with the US and open with US Center right after take off? I never do it but was just wondering if it was: a) legal and b) would it work?
