Landing at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, Cessna 172

The 1st controller was a little bit surprised. LOL
Well, it's not everyday an airport of that caliber gets a "waterboy" that wants to play with the "linemen". ;)
LOL
And it's not everyday that a 172 shows up VFR at 0200. LOL
I am really surprised that you got in showing up at 0200. IFR would have given them a heads up for sequencing and all and really entitled you to a piece of the sky
I've done VFR to Houston KIAH in a C172 at midnight, also calling in advance on the phone for permission. No problems at all though our first controller also expressed the same amount surprise.
Houston KHOU (also a class B airport) is also very welcoming to small VFR pistons, even during the day. The third Saturdays will often see a few light aircraft flying in for a monthly gathering at their 1940s Air Terminal Museum. http://www.1940airterminal.org/WingsAndWheels/

Jeff...you're about KHOU. I fly in there 4-6 times a month and they are always accommodating. 25-30% of their traffic is general aviation.
Until SWA came to town, they had to rely on GA for survival after KIAH opened.
Yes! SWA was Khou's savior. I grew up about 2 miles from Hobby. I would ride my bike there as a kid and leave my bike at the front entrance and go to the observation deck. Try doing that these days!
