That's really too bad. It was a great way to move between the
California central valley and San Diego. The kids always enjoyed
spotting the Queen Mary and other items on the shore. There is so much
airspace around L.A. that there really isn't a good way to move
between the central valley and San Diego without these transitions
sort of diverting 50 miles East to avoid the whole mess. L.A. approach
controllers are certainly the least likely to want to work GA aircraft
of all the airspace I've flown in around this country.
