Best Place to Learn to Fly?

That's a very good, point, Dan. Hell, I didn't know you could fly in the
rain until I moved here. Didn't really understand what showers were or that
you could fly through or around them. Totally opened up my flying when I
moved here!

This whole discussion just proves that point that the PPL is just a license
to learn because there is simply so much that can't be covered during
training but that is very relevant to flying. Personally, I felt too
inexperienced to actually have a ticket when I got it, but my instructor and
examiner obviously thought otherwise. They were right, as it turned out.

you can encounter a variety of weather conditions during your training.

Just as the poster from Oregon worried that you don't get enough radio
practice if you learn in the boonies, the wx is certainly a factor for
someone who is going to be doing his flying in Britain. The weather in
AZ or SOCAL is not much preparation for that.
