In my opinion, one becomes good (or else!) flying a lot down there(I was hangared at Torrance, a few miles south of LAX, for the first 500 or so hours that went on my Lancair 235). Most of the controllers are friendly and helpful, if a bit harried. Many's the time when returning home from the North in the Lancair, I've requested the VFR high route thru the Class-B (Hollywood Park Route - usually get 8000 ft over the city) and have been given a "descend at pilot's discretion" when passing LAX to help me make it down to Torrance without having to fly an extra 20 miles just to adhere to the published route. What I really don't like to do anymore is drive in LA - now that is Really taking your life in your hands!!
