Default SOS - Different day

whump! He just dumped me out into international airspace without
controller contact, without a handoff, without even a suggested
frequency... Now this is the ATC we have all come to know and
love... Welcome back to the SOS...


Flight following is provided to VFR flights when traffic
and work loads permit. They are also not required to hand
you off to a center controller when you leave the airspace.
