APilot,
If you don't want Foreigners in the USA, why don't you [insert expletive here so I don't get another warning
] off to another forum.....Maybe the "I've been on the Gerry Springer show" one....you sound like you should have been on there in any case.
I was there a few weeks ago, very friendly, even INS at LAX....
Cheerio

A Pilot is not a pilot in my view. I'm just back from flying in the USA and have re-confirmed my opinion that the yanks are about the friendliest people on the face of the earth once past immigration!!!
I'm always up for flying in the USA, have a US ppl conversion, tailwheel time, actual IFR time, a GPS, spare cash and clear after the middle of March and am happy to fly PA28's or 172's and no wish to go commercial. California is a nice base for hour building.

It's awful tempting...
I've flown from ADP at Brackett (LA area) on some fabulous long sightseeing trips, from Naples (Florida) once - to do an FAA IR and a PPL to attach it to, and many times around the Detroit area and across Michigan.
If I were going on a flying holiday, it would always have to be California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and around there. The scenery is breathtaking! Florida is friendly, warm, flat, and wet.
Present plans don't include a US trip in Feb/March 2003, but I'll let the seed germinate and see what happens. Have you a "partner" yet?
My preference, given a choice, would be an IFR-equipped Arrow or similar. If I could get my claws on a Commander 114, that would be heaven!

Came back from CA about 5 weeks ago after 3 weeks flying out there and was not called out of the sky once!!! Seems 'a pilot' must be confused which country he is in.
What didi surprise me was that INS at LAX, who are normally the worst in the world to deal with, didnt seem to really care and just waved me through - I think he manage two words and about 10 seconds stood in front of him...nomrally about 5 mins questioning and occasionally baggage search!!
