Narrative:

On oct/fri/92, I was second in command on a government owned light transport doing a flight check of the omega navigation gear. The WX was VFR. We cleared the TCA and went up to VFR altitudes between 7500 ft to 11500 ft to check equipment. We usually carry a special squawk (3A code) when flying missions into the ADIZ, but that day squawked 1200. We penetrated the ADIZ inner boundary of the golf ADIZ for about 30 mi. We were talking with customs the whole flight. ATC radar saw us on our round robin into the ADIZ and were concerned we had no DVFR or IFR plan on file. The customs guide for private flyers states that ADIZ penetrations require a flight plan or notice to united states customs prior to re-crossing the coast if you have not landed in a foreign country. Moral of story is: file and call customs and whoever else (coastal ATC) and let them know what your intentions are, and avoid the lack of communications between government agencies.
