I agree that flight following is a valuable service.  However, last time I =
asked for it in the Southern California area the controller responded: "Una=
ble flight following -- multiple targets, all altitudes, all quadrants -- g=
ood luck!"

Of course, it was a pleasant Saturday afternoon, I was about ten miles from=
 Torrance, and it seemed like every airplane in the basin was up flying.  W=
hen I flew IFR in my Cessna 150 on a Tuesday morning a month later I seemed=
 to have the entire airspace to myself.

Flight following in SoCal?  It's great.  Except I can't get it when I reall=
y need it...
