I will be in Southhampton on business in June with a couple of free
days, one thing I like to do when that happens is rent a plane and
instructor at a local FBO for sightseeing flight. I've been able to
find those types of resources easily in the U.S. with airnav.com. Is
there a similar resoruce for Europe? Or can any of our European
friends clue me in on if this is even possible, or whom to contact?

Thanks!

I flew out of Shoreham near Brighton. The FBO was air south, but I think
they are out of business. The aircraft was a Warrior (G-BEMW). I just
wanted a foreign aircraft listed in my log book. The folks were great
there. We flew to from Shoreham to Portsmouth. I should have gone to
Dover to see the white cliffs. I just had an instructor fly with me to
keep me out of trouble. It was expensive!!!!
