First of all thank you Moderators for moving my thread to this older one, I promiss I did a few searches but somehow still missed the original one.
Secondly thank you for the few answers already, seems like we have a lot of bitterness accumulated against the UK CAA, I know the beast too and wouldn't ever start such business in the UK. It would be somewhere far away from EASA land on the southern hemisphere, sorry about being vague but the location doesn't really matter for the purpose of this discussion since I really want to hear what everyone has to say: US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, EASA land...
Chopjock thanks for the flying club suggestion, to be analysed

Thanks The Controller for the links
Could someone name some of the best options in terms of aircraft for this kind of operation? (It would be interesting to hear pros and cons in terms of maintenance as well)
