Jay,

You don't see how the French government has made it extremely
expensive for the average French citizen to fly general aviation
aircraft?


The original statement was:

"France as a whole isn't very favorable
to GA; it was early to enter the aviation field but today many
obstacles make
it extremely difficult to fly for fun in the country."

That's just not true by any kind of measure. France is EXTREMELY
favorable to GA. And it is very easy to fly for fun in the country. It
is more expensive than the US, but compared to many other countries in
Europe, France is doing very well in GA. MX has no idea what he is
talking about (so what else is new?). I have no idea what you base your
view on, either.
