Not necesarily a fan of b4ufly, but if it is showing you ok, you might want to double check your location. Airman is another app that can help. Last resort, look at an actual sectional. That's the ultimate authority. You can go here http://www.airnav.com/airportinteresting. It doesnt show up on knowb4ufly as an area I cannot fly. good to know.
Class B is the exception to the 5 mile rule. For all others , you just notify. For Class B, you have to have specific atc permission and coordination! Not sure, but wouldn't be surprised if 'coordination' might involve two-way radio comma.
Look here Airspace RestrictionsRichard, where did you find that rule for hobbyist?
Sorry, that is just wrong. No recreational flying in Class B without ATC APPROVAL AND COORDINATION. Check the FAA webpage here Airspace RestrictionsWhen flying for recreational / hobby you can fly in class bravo airspace as long as you're not within 5 miles. Of course that assumes you follow all of the other rules as a hobby flier ( 400', line of sight, etc).

It seems to me that the two places a hobbyist would look would be B4UFly and the FAA getting started site.It's possible that most class B airspace is contained within 5 miles, and being an exception to the rule, they do not mention it everywhere. Either way, the previous link is pretty clear, and it makes perfect sense why it is a rule.
Class Bravo is the tightest airspace we have. Bravo = Busy.... insanely busy.
As a full size manned aircraft pilot you do NOT enter Class BRAVO w/o 2-way comms.
