I made a trip from Marina KOAR to GNOSS KDVO in California in the F1 C172. I took a direct visual course. This took me close to San Fransisco KSFO.I wondeer how this would have been done in real life? There must be a lot of traffic around such a big airport. Would a small Cessna even be cleared to fly close to KSFO? Should I make flight plan that took me around the KSFO area? IN FS I only needed clearence through B airspace.
