Narrative:
While descending through 6500' MSL on a left base to final for runway 08 bur, we saw the small aircraft maneuvering on an apparent sightseeing joyride. We had to take evasive action to avoid collision. Approach was no help with this traffic as they were painting other traffic. My belief is that due to the large # of civil aircraft in the area, the arrival corridor into bur is unsafe and some type of action should be taken. Perhaps a restr area for IFR arrs.

Title: FLT CREW OF MLG DESCENDING VISUAL APCH TO BUR TOOK EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID CONFLICT WITH SMA.
Narrative: WHILE DSNDING THROUGH 6500' MSL ON A LEFT BASE TO FINAL FOR RWY 08 BUR, WE SAW THE SMA MANEUVERING ON AN APPARENT SIGHTSEEING JOYRIDE. WE HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO AVOID COLLISION. APCH WAS NO HELP WITH THIS TFC AS THEY WERE PAINTING OTHER TFC. MY BELIEF IS THAT DUE TO THE LARGE # OF CIVIL ACFT IN THE AREA, THE ARR CORRIDOR INTO BUR IS UNSAFE AND SOME TYPE OF ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN. PERHAPS A RESTR AREA FOR IFR ARRS.
