PPL Lessons in/near NYC, Toronto.
I'm spending a week in the States this May and as I'm about 15 hours into my PPL it would be nice to take a couple of lessons while I'm over there for a change of scenery.
Does anyone know of flying schools within easy reach of NYC or Toronto, preferably with Cessna 172s or similar (A PA28 will do in a pinch), and ideally with scenic training areas. I guess they're somewhat sensitive nowadays about flying near Manhattan, but even a flight over Niagara Falls would be outstanding!

Not far from Toronto, and you can do the Niagra thing from there also...

I second Burlington Airpark qualified by the long time since I flew out of there.
www.futureair.ca operates out of Holland Landing, Barrie, Collingwood -- all scenic possibilities and I like their operation.
There's a number of flying schools at Hamilton. St. Catherines is quite handy to Niagara Falls, but I have no personal knowledge of the operators there.
There are many more possibilities. Feel free to pm.

Re training, you'll need a visa and unless it's JAA approved (and I don't believe there are any JAA schools in that area) it won't count towards your PPL anyway.
