Club has a bonus program that
actually lowers the prices for members. Deposit at least $300 in your
account, and get a 20% bonus. This brings the cost of a 172 down to
$79.00.

I *really* have to go to the US to do some serious flying soon. I'm
currently renting a 172R for €175 ($237) per hour wet...and it's not even
IFR certified in Germany. It has the U.S. standard IFR avionics but Germany
requires a DME in addition to all the other stuff. When was the last time
you heard "expect localizer/DME approach"? :-(
