Narrative:

I penetrated ADIZ VFR on a flight from cxy to jyo for maintenance without proper clearance. I fly IFR 98% of the time which usually keeps me out of trouble. This clear day, I made an exception and made the 30 min flight and forgot we were still under code alert with special restrs for that area.
