Hello guys, anyone familiar with KWHP WHITEMAN airport? How do you recommend approaching the airport VFR... there's so much conflicting airspace around, and I wouldn't want to fly the full IFR approach on a clear morning this Friday... Thanks!

Anyone familiar with the San Diego airspace here thinks its a bad idea to fly tonight along the shoreline from Montgomery Field up to Oceanside back and forth to see the fireworks?? There is a TFR over downtown due to a PADRES game so that is out of the question and that is the area with most...
