I used to fly into OAK every night for a living, landing in the wee
small hours. Much easier to get around than is SFO.

I'm thinking of doing a night flight to SFO in a C152. Is this
going to be difficult? Will they let me in? Is that place very busy
at night? I plan on arriving at about midnight. Would a touch and
go be possible, or will they make me do a full stop? If so, where
can I expect to taxi and get fuel? If I have to taxi all around the
huge and complex airport, I'll just land somewhere else and get
fuel, rather than risk getting lost and then ran over by a 747.


What about any other bay area airports that are GA friendly during
the night?


Yeah, I'm thinking it'd be better to go to Oakland instead. Can I
expect to get cleared into the bravo, or will they make me maneuver
around it? I don't think it'd be very fun to have to duck around all
that complicated airspace, especially at night.


Make sure you watch out fer them utther airyplanes, bozo.
