Narrative:
I was flying from 1c5 airport to 3HA airport when I realized that I cut through the mdw arsa west/O talking to anyone. I discovered the problem when I looked at the LORAN and realized I was 10 DME from mdw. I turned the aircraft south to get out of their airspace and turned off the transponder so I would not get caught. This happened because I was in a hurry and I was trying to take a short cut. I think that anyone who is trying to save time is only asking for trouble if they do not think about all of their options and all of the pros and cons.
