In alaska people fly around all day in class G without ATC clearance...but they don't enter controlled airspace.
Heyas Rick,
Agree. Lots of part time interenet reg gurus like to point this case out as the "careless/reckless" for all Class G IFR, but if you read the case, it was pretty clear that the guys intent was to game the system into getting an IFR clearance.
Completely different than Class G IFR in Alaska.
