Narrative:

I flew VFR from igq to a private airport just south of ckv departing igq at approximately XB00 local time. I received a VFR pilot briefing at approximately XA00. The first half of the trip, to just west of huf was under an overcast that gradually got higher as I proceeded south. I flew at 1700 ft MSL on departure and gradually climbed to 2200 ft in the vicinity of terra haute, in, and at that point the overcast became scattered to broken and I climbed to 5500 ft for the rest of the trip. I passed under the MOA (red hills MOA) southwest of huf at 5500 ft, and over the evv class C airspace at 5500 ft. I contacted fort campbell approach upon entering the fort campbell MOA and received flight following services to my destination 13.1 NM 158 degree radial off ckv. The fort campbell controller asked for my full north number and name and stated that the ZID had been trying to identify the aircraft that had violated their restr airspace. I may have inadvertently violated the huf class C airspace before climbing to 5500 ft. I fly this route on a regular basis, but always fly either IFR, or at 4500-6500 ft AGL to avoid any conflict. This day the WX between igq and huf was lower, and I didn't want to wait for an IFR clearance off igq as it was good VFR beneath the overcast and no airborne pick-ups are allowed due to the sep/tue/01 changes in the far's.

Title: A PVT PLT ELECTS NOT TO FILE AN IFR FLT PLAN DUE TO GOOD WX CONDITIONS AND THE PROBS WITH IFR CLRNCS FOLLOWING THE EVENTS OF SEP-TUE-01. DURING THE COURSE OF HIS FLT THERE IS AN UNAUTH ENTRY INTO CLASS C AND RESTR AIRSPACE.

Narrative: I FLEW VFR FROM IGQ TO A PVT ARPT JUST S OF CKV DEPARTING IGQ AT APPROX XB00 LCL TIME. I RECEIVED A VFR PLT BRIEFING AT APPROX XA00. THE FIRST HALF OF THE TRIP, TO JUST W OF HUF WAS UNDER AN OVCST THAT GRADUALLY GOT HIGHER AS I PROCEEDED S. I FLEW AT 1700 FT MSL ON DEP AND GRADUALLY CLBED TO 2200 FT IN THE VICINITY OF TERRA HAUTE, IN, AND AT THAT POINT THE OVCST BECAME SCATTERED TO BROKEN AND I CLBED TO 5500 FT FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP. I PASSED UNDER THE MOA (RED HILLS MOA) SW OF HUF AT 5500 FT, AND OVER THE EVV CLASS C AIRSPACE AT 5500 FT. I CONTACTED FORT CAMPBELL APCH UPON ENTERING THE FORT CAMPBELL MOA AND RECEIVED FLT FOLLOWING SVCS TO MY DEST 13.1 NM 158 DEG RADIAL OFF CKV. THE FORT CAMPBELL CTLR ASKED FOR MY FULL N NUMBER AND NAME AND STATED THAT THE ZID HAD BEEN TRYING TO IDENT THE ACFT THAT HAD VIOLATED THEIR RESTR AIRSPACE. I MAY HAVE INADVERTENTLY VIOLATED THE HUF CLASS C AIRSPACE BEFORE CLBING TO 5500 FT. I FLY THIS RTE ON A REGULAR BASIS, BUT ALWAYS FLY EITHER IFR, OR AT 4500-6500 FT AGL TO AVOID ANY CONFLICT. THIS DAY THE WX BTWN IGQ AND HUF WAS LOWER, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO WAIT FOR AN IFR CLRNC OFF IGQ AS IT WAS GOOD VFR BENEATH THE OVCST AND NO AIRBORNE PICK-UPS ARE ALLOWED DUE TO THE SEP/TUE/01 CHANGES IN THE FAR'S.
