Default So Cal flying

Today I flew from the Central Valley of California to San Diego. Along the way I had a 180 out pass with a Gulfstream jet over Avenal headed northbound. Then just north of LAX, I overtook a King Air (callsign sounded like an air ambulance flight) southbound. Finally - around 1300 local, I flew under a SWA flight out of San Diego on the Poguee departure (?) and maintained visual separation while on my approach into North Island. I managed to finally get some actual instrument time in those rare clouds north of the Grapevine. Did I happen to give an 'aviation hello' to any APCers out there? If so - I hope your flight was enjoyable!

Dude, just let me know when. I'll come fly around the Salton Sea and you can pretend to shoot at me. I'll be in the flying potato....

Nope - didn't have the cell phone out and they wouldn't have been any good even if I had managed it somehow! I'm sure that someday I'm going to come across another APCer.
