Thanks for all the tips, it really makes my planning easier. Just a quick question for the "Locals": Is density altitude a factor in February?
Another issue that comes to mind: Has anybody been to USA to do any flying after the newest rules on immigartion came into effect in October? There seem to be some mixed opinions about the need for the security clearance; I don't intend to do any training as I hold the FAA PPL with a valid BFR and medical. Any firsthand experience?
