Default Busy airports and small GA

What is the largest/busiest airport you've flown into or out of in a
small GA
aircraft as a private pilot, and was it IFR or VFR? What was the
attitude of
the ATC in the area towards pilots like yourself moving about in an area
normally dominated by airliners and commercial flights?


The worlds buisiest airport (for about one week a year) is Whittman Field -
but it is hardly dominated by airliners and commercial flights. I have
flown in and out of it during that week - ATC was quite helpful. Even got
us "special VFR" to get out one year.

I've also never had problems with ATC when flying into / out of large
airports with lots of commercial traffic.

Why?
