Here in southern CT I've heard some exchanges with NY Approach (don't
recall if the acft in question was trying to get into JFK or LGA) that
just had me shaking my head. Personally I'd never fly into a Class B
airport in something slow, but I know guys that have with varying
degress of success (measured by the controller's level of
exasperation). The airspace just south of here is too damn busy to
accommodate newbies or most weekend flyers safely.

I flew my 182 into Logan, Philly, Washington National and a few other
fairly busy airports. They had no problem at all handling me with the
jets. They usually brought me in on a close-in pattern and I landed on
a runway other than what the airliners were using. I don't have any
problem with a little crosswind and it worked out great.

Now taxiing is a whole 'nother adventure at airports like that... :-)
