LAX
Just to backtrack to the LAX discussion for a moment... not only can you overfly LAX, you can even land there. I've been in there twice in my 182, once on a perfect VFR day (but on a IFR flight plan) and once in typical Socal IMC. btw the weather at LAX is often IMC especially in the morning. I had a short hold and some vectoring that time, but nothing dramatic.
It is *really* cool taxiing among all the 747s etc at LAX, especially if they land you on the northern runways since the GA terminal is on the south side. I'm pretty sure that both times mine was the only piston aircraft on the whole airport.
It isn't even expensive... the airport doesn't charge, and the FBO charges something like a $40 handling fee (and you can't get 100LL there, so you need to plan around that).
otoh although you can fly alongside, and sometimes over, SFO with no problem (I do it all the time), landing there is expensive (~$250 I think) so I've never done it. (Also since my home airport
is only 25 miles from it, I've never had any reason to).
