The debate is whether flying in Europe is so astronomically expensive
that it's out of reach for normal people, and specifically if the
prices that "Dallas" found are typical.
I don't think its out of reach in Europe but a person would need to be
more motivated than in the US to take up flying. I certainly would
have thought twice about learning to fly if the costs were 50% higher.
Here in California, I can rent a C-150 wet for $75 per hr (was $65 two
years ago) and there are dozens of scenic airports to go to on a
sunday morning with no landing fees to worry about.
