If there's anything I've learned from flying in the incredibly busy SoCal airspace, it's that we have to share the skies and work together as pilots to keep ourselves and each other safe. This was an interesting flight where we had THREE separate and unique opportunities to collide with the same airplane. Having complete situational awareness was key in avoiding a potential accident chain.
