So, I was going from KLHW to M40, and playing with the routes on the AOPA flight planner. I made the flight, landed, BSed a little, fueled up etc... then got a call from lockheed martin stating I was overdue and they were checking on me. I guess I did file a VFR plan on AOPA Flight Planner, but I never opened it, I got Flight Follwing shortly after I took off and didn't bother with opening the flight plan. I told the guy on the phone as much and he said he had no idea how it got opened. What happened? Should I call every time I hit the "file" button on the AOPA flight planner? I made the FP the night before the flight at least 12 hours before the flight took place.
Add on question. I fly out of a joint use airport, on the weekends the tower is closed but they have "advisory" on the tower frequency. As I'm about 3 miles out after departure, the guy on "advisory" calls me up and asks me where my destination was, I said "M40" he said thanks... wondering why he cared, never been asked that before and wondering if that had anything to do with my call from Lockheed?
