I've heard that before
As far as I know they don't fly on the other side of the sky in the US. A few things may be different, but I'd expect they would if I flew to Ireland, or to Europe once I have passed the PPL.
Riding a motorbike is the same in the US as it is in the UK or DL, AU, NZ...
One reason I chose Ormond Beach Aviation is becasue it's British owned and operated. I'm due to go over. I think the trick is that it's difficult in the UK to get enough continuity of flying (due to weather) to learn.
Even if you book an £800 flight in a luxury seat to the US (instead of say £350), it's still very much cheaper to learn stateside. Another
big plus point is that you can spend more time with the ones that you love on beautifully sunny weekends (instead of learning to fly on every 45 of them).
Tip: Remember to add landing fees and touch-and-go fees to the calculation.
