Best North American Continental flight destinations IMHO:
Almost everywhere is friendly, well equiped and inexpensive (and I've flown there quite a bit, both coasts, the bit in the middle, Bahamas/Caribbean and Canada) - you won't see half as many miserable old men sipping coffee in prefabs whilst their elderly cessnas rust outside as you do over here. In fact, I think this flying club style is unique to the UK!!
Anyway try these:
Fly in to Oshkosh WI during the show
Fly to sun 'n fun during the show
Sporty's pilot shop, Batavia, Ohio
Lake Havasu City AZ - check out the old London Bridge and the island built specially for it
Peachtree County Atlanta - lovely place
Las Vegas - Henderson/McCarran - to play a few tables / meet the Mafia (and experience architectural vulgarity in its purest form - if you irritate the local mob you may become part of the vulgar architecture)
Santa Monica airport for a walk down the boulevard to check out the beautiful people
Nassau Bahamas/Staniel Cay - it'll make you feel like James Bond in Thunderball (where it was filmed) - especially if you adopt a schlightly Schean Connery sctyle accschent!
Oceano County CA - to dip your toes in the pacific - it's right on the beach.
New Orleans Lakefront - take a cab to Bourbon street (check the wx first though!)
Van Nuys CA - to see what busy airspace with superslick controllers is really like - parallel runways, lots of jets, lots of training
Kerrville Texas - to collect your new Mooney from the factory (of course! - you weren't thinking of buying anything else were you?)
Carmel/Monterey CA (via the golden gate bridge)- 'cause Clint is/was the Mayor and Arnie is the governor, (best behave yourself at this destination)
Meig's field Chicago used to have a very cool approach over lake Michigan til that dumb mayor bulldozed it.
You can get a similar experience at Toronto Island Airport, Ontario CA
God bless America, better weather (with occasional exceptions), cheaper, newer aircraft, very few landing fees, great customer service, God why do we live here???
