Letting aside all the terrorist talk and more 'security':
can somebody come up with some numbers on how many foreigners come to the
USA only for flight training and what impact on this (avitaion) industry
they have?
and what alltogether impact on economy they have (they need housing, food,
car rental, ...)? Are there some areas/FBOs that are heavily dependant on
foreign pilots (like Florida or around Wichita) and the money they bring to
the country?
