Several years ago I read an article in Private Pilot or Plane and
Pilot or one of those other GA magazines that went out of business
about a guy who wanted to land at every airport in the LA area in one
trip, including LAX. He called the tower, told them what he was
doing, and they suggested off peak times when he would be welcome to
do a touch and go in his 152, which is what he did.
Like has been said elsewhere, no 100LL and they charge you out the yin
yang to park, but at 5 am or whenever, they're OK with T&Gs. Or at
least they were several years ago. (yes the article was several years
ago but it was post-9/11 FWIW)
