When I delivered my -6 to a fellow in NW Kansas, his flight instructor and I flew it into KDEN for me to catch a flight home. After shutting down at the GA FBO, the attendent asked me if I had landed at the wrong airport

Flying into Houston Hobby is no big deal at all - we do it every once in awhile to go to the Houston Air Museum. The controllers do a good job of working the versatile RV's into the SWA flows.

My first instrument approach during PPC training (and first T&G at a Bravo) was at KHOU. Granted it was about midnight -- but in general, the entire Houston set of controllers seem really friendly. Even KIAH let's you cut across their airspace when they are not too busy.

Been into DAL several times. Not a big deal.

I've been into SAN and routinely into SLC. One day SLC had me fly a 270 around the tower so they could get a better view. Pretty weird flying over the terminals at a couple hundred feet during a busy part of the day there.

oh, heck, the small print...
true, KCOS isn't Class B. i couldn't tell the difference between it and a Class B in how we were treated tho, at least in that instance.
used to go into SFO weekly, always VFR, it was similar procedure-wise but more scenic. (think they called it a "TCA" - i forget whether it was Class I or Class II - then). went in there early one saturday morning in a Cherokee and was cleared to land "any runway!" guess that doesn't happen any more.

When my decathlon was flying, I'd take friends into JFK during off peak hours. If I remember correctly, it was only $25 landing fee off peak. Park at GA ramp and take tram to terminal. Sure beats the New york traffic.

KMSY for me tomorrow. Doesn't look like a real busy Class B, but we'll see.

KMSY
Went into MSY IFR a month ago. Went into Signature. They were great and everything went smooth. Seems like the friendliest people around that area. I think I gained five pounds too.

Its the maze of taxiways that I think is the most daunting. Places like Bush Intl, Houston, progressive taxi would be the way to go.
