a few years back I went to Ormond Beach Aviation to burn cheap avgas. Based in Florida just north of Daytona international. www.flyoba.com

The main stay of the business is to churn out PPL's in minimum time. They offer packages including accomodation in houses about 10 -15 mins walk from the airport. When I was there fleet was mainly C150's with a couple of C152's, a PA28 and a Seneca.

One part of the entertainment I remember was being asked to ferry an instructor to rescue a student on a qualifying cross country that landed at the wrong airfield, a nice distraction from cruising the cost line watching the scenery.

Flying in Florida was excellent. USA is good value even through you now have to jump through hoops of red tape to demonstrate you are not a terrorist.
