SEP or MEP? What make and model?

Where and when? How many flying hours are you looking to cover in this time?

What is your own experience, in both the USA and EU (or anywhere else for that matter)?

This is not a brilliant time of the year to be flying IFR/IMC in north-west Europe and considerably different to the sunny parts of the USA. Knowing where and when you intend going and in what could make a big difference, e.g. crossing the French Alps in a de-iced twin is favourable over a 1985 C-172, G1000 or not.

I take it this is just for fun and not for instruction. Regardless, will you be covering the costs? You may be lucky to find someone prepared to do it free of charge but you'll probably find you'll need to cover their living costs at least.

It may be an idea if you were to give more information on your plans as it would help any FIs (or any IR holders who are not FIs) make an informed decision.

I would have been interested but work commitments prevent it.

All the best - make sure you post details of your journey.
