Back in the days just after the 250k/10,000 rule a pilot just back from vacation got a check ride from LAX to SAN---he hadn't flown since the rule was in and didn't think about it--took off west on 25L, leveled off at 1000 ft, finished up cleaning up flats/after take off checklist, accerated to 460kts, turned down the coast line, cancelled IFR, went VFR to SAN at 1000ft/460kts---nice view of the coast---check pilot said first time he had seen his house like that even before the rule change--

Sure glad you didn't run over any of the typical small aircraft flying at that altitude. That's a very reckless thing to do in big iron. Glad you didn't make the front page of the LA Times.
