Narrative:
Training flight from 19N to pne. Pne VOR inoperative. By the time this was realized, phl airspace was penetrated and heading was corrected to exit the airspace as fast as possible. I was complacent due to the short distance being traveled, and due to the fact that I have done this flight many times.
