UNAUTHORIZED PENETRATION OF AIRSPACE. PROX OF ARSA.

Narrative

I WAS FLYING MY SMA WITH A FRIEND FROM ITALY. WE WERE TAKING PICTURES OF THE LEAF COLOR WHICH THEY DO NOT HAVE IN ITALY. OCT/SUN/92 WAS THE FULL COLOR WKEND AND IT WAS GORGEOUS. I TOOK OFF FROM MT POCONO ARPT; MT POCONO; PA; AND HEADED TOWARD THE ALLENTOWN AREA AFTER CLBING TO 4500 FT; THE ROOF OF THE ALLENTOWN CTL. WE HUNTED ALONG THE RIDGE FOR BEST COLOR TAKING PICTURES. I DIDN'T CONTACT APCH CTL BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK I WANDERED INTO THE CTL AIRSPACE; SO MUCH WAS OUR INTEREST IN TAKING PICTURES. SINCE THE MOUNTAIN RIDGE IS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM THE AIR PARK; AND SINCE THE SUNDAY AFTERNOON SEEMED FREE OF ANY OTHER PLANES; MY INTEREST WAS MOSTLY WITH HUNTING FOR SPECIAL LEAF COLOR; STILL THINKING I WAS AT PROPER ALT SINCE I DID NOT PURPOSELY GO LOWER. I GOT BACK TO WINGS FIELD WHERE I AM STATIONED AND WAS NOTIFIED ON LNDG THAT I SHOULD CALL THE ALLENTOWN ARPT AND ASK FOR TRACON SUPVR. I DID SO IMMEDIATELY AND WAS ASTOUNDED WHEN TOLD I WAS AT 2800 FT IN THE ALLENTOWN AREA. HE ASKED MY NAME AND ADDRESS AND WOULD WRITE ME. IN AUG/92 MY PLANE WAS BROKEN INTO. BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE ALT ANOMALY; I WILL HAVE MY ALTIMETER CHKED.
