While on the topic of ADIZ violations, just noticed from AOPA's web site
that the infamous ADIZ bust last year led to an interview with the two
pilots involved once dust had settled down.

Must've been hard for them to do that interview, especially with such a
highly watched organization like AOPA, in the aviation community. Kudos
to them for having agreed to reflect upon it publically in the interview.

AOPA apparently hopes to be more proactive about identifying things that
we all can learn from and improve, in order to not give GA an
unnecessary black eye in the popular press by (hopefully) avoiding
future ADIZ busts. Concern was that ADIZ busts could potentially lead to
an outcry by the less informed to set up permanent ADIZs around major
cities in the future.

AOPA members can read the article (Jan '06 publication) online at:

Bottom line: situational awareness, being on proper freequencies,
communicate with ATC early on if needed (aka 'confessing') to get help,
having backup equipment for nav, amongst other things were suggested.
