Well... there's pleny of Brits buy property out there - usually around Orlando with no problems, so it should be possible.

Ideally, you'd buy a house on one of these private airfields where you have a hangar rather than garage, and the street outside is the taxiway. Sell some shares in the aircraft/propery combo and rent it all out to other pilots when not in use by the shareholders.

From the amount of interest in US flying on this board alone, I think many (me included) would be biting your hand off to go on vacation there for a couple of weeks. There's got to be loads of tax and work permit type issues, but you never know, you might even be able to make a small profity to fund your own trips over there
