Well, IF he's starting in Southern VA then he may as well get following started down there. And that would be Wash Center. Looks like he has a SPOT for tracking but if he gets following with Wash he will more than likely be on flight aware the entire trip as well. Good for the family!
If you get passed to Philadelphia, don't be at all surprised to get dumped by them after. It's one of the reasons I don't use FF as much when traveling from the Norfolk VA area up to Maine. I got tired of dealing with Philadelphia.
Not all controllers are as nice and accommodating at TKATC and his colleagues![]()
