Pascal Duchemin KCCR KOAK KCCR Class C OAK landing wihtout asking flight following before. Downtown Oakland. -------------- My wife and I took off from runway 19L on the way to KOAK. At around 1500 feet and out of Class D, I could not pick up Norcal Approach neither on 127.0 or 125.35. I finally managed to get heard on 127.0, but the controller asked me to switch to 120.9. At that point I was probably 15 miles from the airport. Controller basically asked me to switch straight to tower and I did not have to ask flight following. After getting the ATIS, I made my call 1 mile from the mormon temple. I was given a sqwak and instructed to enter a right downwind for 28R. A plane was just taking off from runway 30 and flew just under us (maybe 400 feet below), controller had us tracked the whole time, so things were safe. I got cleared to land for 28R, then due to another traffic coming , got asked to switch to 28L and short approach. Half a minute later due to another traffic, I was asked to go back to 28R and landed. We taxied back on taxiway C and asked VFR for bay tour. After taking off we were asked to follow the freeway. We were able to take a few picture of downtown Oakland and headed out to the Golden Gate fields. I informed Norcal that we were heading back to KCCR. About 15 miles from KCCR we were asked to sqwak VFR. I made my call to KCCR tower but mistakenly said I was coming from the south east instead of south west. Controller could see me on the radar already and probably readlized that I made the wrond call. He had me ident and call me out south west. I was at first number 2 to land on 19R but a fast piper warrior was already 5 miles out lined up on 19R, I got switch to number 3 and asked to extent my downwind, which forced me to fly over a factory with tall cheminee. From experience I knew that even though we might not see smoke, we would feel some bump due to hot air rising (which we did feel). After passing the warrior, we turne base and final for an unenventful landing.
