Narrative:

My passenger was an investigator looking for a stolen truck. He gave me directions to fly. I was thinking I was well clear of the ont arsa. Then we needed to go closer to the ont airport and I contacted them as normal. But they told me I was already in the arsa. I realized that I had followed the wrong street.
