Short answer? No.

Going to America is good if you want to do it quickly - as you can whip through everything without weather getting in the way, but by the time you have added all the incidental expenses, it rarely works out much cheaper.

Also, you will have had no preparation whatsoever for the crazy UK weather and our silly airspace, not to mention the different RT - so you'll be wanting some familiarisation training when you get back anyway.

@ Anyone who wants to answer- How much are we talking for a share in an aircraft? I know it depends on how many people are buying it, but what is a reasonable cost to assume? (I don't know if it's £1,000, £10,000, £100,000 or £1,000,000 )
As much or as little as you like. You could buy a share at any of your price points - or less, or more!
