Narrative:
I was flying on a survey flight for a government agency at 600 ft MSL. We were over georges bank about 100 NM east of cape cod at the furthest point. The termination of the survey was about 22 NM southwest of nomans land where I established contact with cape approach for advisories on 126.3 MHZ. It was at this time I was informed that I had been intercepted by 3 F15's from otis ANG base on cape cod, for an incursion of the ADIZ. Upon reaching plymouth, we talked by phone to the ANG people and explained what we were doing out there. The flight lasted 6 hours. Also, the new york sectional chart did not show the ADIZ until the south end of the chart.
