I'm not so sure about that Ron.  If you already have one on file (IFR =
w/VFR
altitude) and you're getting flight following, why do you need to have =
the
VFR FP too?

Filing a vfr flight plan is still very important for search and rescue =
so
they know what color airplane, how many people, fuel and contact
information. =20

If
you are on flight following there is really no reason to also do a Vfr
flight plan. If you go down the search and rescue timeline is much =
better on
flight following than FSS waiting until you are 30 minutes overdue at =
your
destination and then they start looking.=20
