Narrative:
After departure, VFR from herlong runway 25, VFR but trying to contact jax departure, I was trying to avoid a line of thunderstorms that was north of the field. I planned to have immediate radio contact with jax to pick up my IFR flight plan to montgomery, but due to low altitude, was unable. While avoiding the thunderstorms, I entered cecil NAS airspace and crossed the approach path of their primary runway about 2 mi off the approach end at 1500 ft. Once clear of the thunderstorm, I turned due north to exit their airspace quickly. The thunderstorms were more of a threat to safety than entering a control zone unannounced!

Title: WHILE DEVIATING AROUND TSTMS, THE PLT OF A LIGHT TWIN ERRONEOUSLY ENTERED MIL CLASS D AIRSPACE WITHOUT ESTABLISHING 2-WAY RADIO COM.
Narrative: AFTER DEP, VFR FROM HERLONG RWY 25, VFR BUT TRYING TO CONTACT JAX DEP, I WAS TRYING TO AVOID A LINE OF TSTMS THAT WAS N OF THE FIELD. I PLANNED TO HAVE IMMEDIATE RADIO CONTACT WITH JAX TO PICK UP MY IFR FLT PLAN TO MONTGOMERY, BUT DUE TO LOW ALT, WAS UNABLE. WHILE AVOIDING THE TSTMS, I ENTERED CECIL NAS AIRSPACE AND CROSSED THE APCH PATH OF THEIR PRIMARY RWY ABOUT 2 MI OFF THE APCH END AT 1500 FT. ONCE CLR OF THE TSTM, I TURNED DUE N TO EXIT THEIR AIRSPACE QUICKLY. THE TSTMS WERE MORE OF A THREAT TO SAFETY THAN ENTERING A CTL ZONE UNANNOUNCED!
