Geez and I was going to advise to fly into the mountains. You won’t get that kind of experience anywhere in Europe. Just as we don’t get your incessant rains and congested en rout airspace. Get a good mountain check out and you can go over to Lake Havasue, where the London Bridge resides and you can get a seaplane rating on the Colorado river. My advice is to experience things you can’t back home, like hot and high elevations. Have fun.
