Flying into the ADIZ there is one cardinal sin:
Sqwuaking 1200 in the ADIZ.
Which happens regularly by:
1. reverting to normal ops and changing to 1200 after the
controller dumps you.
2. pressing on despite the fact that Potomac approach hasn't
given you a code even though you are talking with them.
File a flight plan for the gate along your route of flight that avoids
class bravo, get flight following with a discrete code and you won't
have any problems.
Since the ADIZ started class bravo clearances are generally not given
because the ADIZ controllers do not own any airspace: all they do is
give out codes and observe your code. You'll hear "transponder
observed, proceed on course" They will not say "cleared into the
ADIZ."
The controllers hate the ADIZ as much as we do. as long as you
squawk, talk and stay out of the bravo life is grand.
The real gotcha that nails a lot of pilots is changing to 1200 after
the controller releases you the same way you would after canceling VFR
or IFR services.

Just make sure you pick the ADIZ gate closest to KGAI and make that the origin
on your ADIZ flight plan with KGAI as the destination, and then plan to penetrate
the ADIZ through that gate. Be sure to activate it with FSS before you get
too close or Potomac Approach will keep you outside the ADIZ until they can
sort it out. Otherwise it's no big deal. I fly out of Manassas (KHEF) which
is also in the ADIZ and have found it to be pretty much a non-event.
