Amen brother!

I've only had wonderful experiences in France. Of course just like in
the US you have to look past the occasional snob/red neck.

One of my glider student pilots has the good fortune to be able to
travel the world on a fairly regular basis. He flies gliders wherever
and whenever he can. So he's flown at most of the "famous" places in
the US and several in outher countries. Last year he flew in
France. He says it was the greatest experience he's ever had. Both
the area, and the pilots were "the best". He's headed back there this
year too.

Once you have somthing in common with somebody else......like
soaring....all of the petty bulls--t is quickly forgotten. Mutual
respect and friendship comes easy.
