Why does America do it better?
Simple question, but one that I can't work out myself. Why is GA so much better in the USA than it is in the UK? Airports seem much more welcoming to GA traffic over there, everything is so much cheaper over there and clubs seem to have more modern fleets than here.
I was browsing some websites of US flying clubs/schools and I was shocked to see rental Cessna 172SP's at around 50 quid an hour. I pay £150 for an hour in one here.
So why is it so much better over there?
