There is a whole lot more to flying in the usa than just Florida, Ive flown over most of the States, West, south west, mid west, east, south east etc etc. You can find any type of weather that you want. True, if you want to bore holes in blue skies then you can easily achieve that, similarly if you want to explore some more and deal with very high density airflields near the mountains and speak to some of the busiest ATC centres in the world then thats also fair game. Just don't judge the USA and FAA Pilots by the standards of a few Brits looking for a quick 100 hours in Florida and an evening in the George and Dragon telling people how good Britain is!

I went to the States looking for variety not really for the cheap flying. I did all my training and hour building in Scotland. USA wins hands down for so many reasons!
