I ask this question because the correct answer needs wide distribution. Scenario - I have plotted my x-country flight in a straight line which takes me through airspace with a control tower in operation. I don't want to circumnavigate around it. I can't go above it because of weather. I am participating in Flight Following and am now about to enter the airspace.
Am I legal to continue on into and through the airspace without making contact with the control tower since I'm already with Flight Following? What is "best practice" here?
