Narrative:
Flew over ffz en route to chd. In trying to avoid other traffic, I flew into iwa airspace (class D). I have seen this happen to other pilots before. With the high amount of traffic, 3 airports so close to each other and pxr class B airspace above and west, someday a bad accident will happen.
