given it is not a typical situation - but it does happen - and it is perfectly legal

Must be nice to fly in your state. It's difficult where I live to avoid Charlie or Bravo airspace. I have to fly inland, and there happens to be MTR low-level routes for Beale AFB aircraft in those areas. I don't wish to become a permanent fixture on the windshield of one of those black T-38's. So I fly South and request a transition through a Class C facility to get there.
Anyway, when flying VFR, I always make it a habit to file a flight plan and use flight following wherever I'm going. And neither is required. It's a safety thing.
