Being from New Zealand, with our national bird being the Kiwi, New
Zealanders are of course known as "kiwis". My favourite is ... The kiwi eats, roots, shoots and leaves! (not sure which type they were referring to though!) "Montblack" wrote in message ...

And if car gas is any indicator, (It was well over twice what we pay when Joyce was there in Feb.) it'd be far more expensive than in the states. However they are trying to cripple GA with paranoia and charging non nationals extra fees and going through extra security checks. Other than the hassle I'd bet this is still the cheapest by far. Of course if you fly in the mid west you can fly hours and not see the scenery change. If the scenery changes you know you have either hit the Rocky Mountains, Smoky Mountains, Gulf of Mexico, or Canada.

[...] i know the uk is expencive and weather is a bit unpredictable, ive herd america is much cheaper and better weather. can anyone help I don't doubt the US is cheaper. "Better weather" will depend on where you A *lot* cheaper even with gas past $3.00 US per gallon. You can probably rent a Bonanza over here for what they pay for a 150 in the UK. go. I gather a lot of foreigners head to Arizona for reliably clear weather. Some places in the US have fewer flyable days than the UK. The South West is too hot in the Summer, Great in Spring and Fall. Florida is nice in the Winter if you don't mind bugs, mold, and high humidity In mid Winter the weather and temperatures can vary widely from North Florida to South Florida.. The Mid West and Great Planes aren't all that bad in the Summer although you will find the most varied weather. East and West coast are more expensive than the South or South West. The Mid West is probably the cheapest. (You should see the courtesy carsLOL) Roger Halstead (K8RI & ARRL life member) (N833R, S# CD-2 Worlds oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com Pete |

Some places in the US have fewer flyable days than the UK. I met a guy that lived on Adak in the Aluetian chain. He was a weather specialist (what else would one do on Adak?) and estimated that there were about 5 good VFR days out of the year. Yes, but everything is relative. You do realize they live by a different standard "up there". It's a decent day when you can see your own wing tips and it's good VFR when you can see the other side of a 75 foot runway.

Florida is too expensive (compared to AZ, for example), and the landscape is boring, IMHO, but YMMV. #m -- http://www.hotze.priv.at/album/aviation/caution.jpg |
