As far as discretionary, recreational flying goes, I find it so much easier to keep my aeroplane thousands of miles away from CASA. Many Australians find delight in owning and using for a month/year an RV based in North America. I can likewise satisfy all my GA urges in a few weeks of flying over fresh water, canoe strapped to the float struts, in a blissful CASA-free zone. There are bugs though, and that pesky midnight sun.
