Narrative:
The aircraft departed anb VFR looking for his IFR. Pilot was advised of squawk and told to maintain VFR. Aircraft was then radar identified inside restricted airspace and advised of a heading to expedite out of restricted air space. Pilot was very compliant. Many close calls seem to occur at this restricted area (R-2102A) and pilots have claimed that it is not depicted on their navigational equipment. [We need] verification that R-2102A is indeed actually depicted on common navigational equipment.
