I made my first SFRA flight with John D. John is a great guy and perfect partner for a first incursion into Washington DC's SFRA (Special Flight Rules Area). After 9-11, this has become a deal. The cool thing is (and I thank John for this), if you just make yourself do it, it's much less foreboding. The summary is you have to get a transponder code before you can enter. The last thing you want is to be the GA aircraft that initiates a scramble. Our destination was Lee Airport (KANP). Cool, small airport, but surprisingly busy and with a good selection of aircraft...and we flew on D-Day.
