Q What is the difference between the Rolling Stones, and a Scotsman?
A One says "Hey you, get off my cloud!" and the other says "Hey Macleod,
get off my ewe!"


Two sheep ranchers are flying the herd to a new farm. Suddenly, the engine
fails and the plane begins to fall quickly to the ground.

Rancher 1: Quick! Grab a parachute and jump!
Rancher 2: What about the sheep?!?
Rancher 1: F*** the sheep!!!!
Rancher 2: (pause) Do you think we have time?


Q Why do Scotsmen wear kilts?
A Cuz sheep can hear zippers from a paddock away

Being from New Zealand, with our national bird being the Kiwi, New
Zealanders are of course known as "kiwis".

My favourite is ...

The kiwi eats, roots, shoots and leaves! (not sure which type they were
referring to though!)

And if car gas is any indicator, (It was well over twice what we pay
when Joyce was there in Feb.) it'd be far more expensive than in the
states.

However they are trying to cripple GA with paranoia and charging non
nationals extra fees and going through extra security checks. Other
than the hassle I'd bet this is still the cheapest by far. Of course
if you fly in the mid west you can fly hours and not see the scenery
change.

If the scenery changes you know you have either hit the Rocky
Mountains, Smoky Mountains, Gulf of Mexico, or Canada.

[...] i know the uk is expencive and weather is a bit
unpredictable, ive herd america is much cheaper and better weather.
can anyone help

I don't doubt the US is cheaper. "Better weather" will depend on where you

A *lot* cheaper even with gas past $3.00 US per gallon.
You can probably rent a Bonanza over here for what they pay for a 150
in the UK.

go. I gather a lot of foreigners head to Arizona for reliably clear
weather. Some places in the US have fewer flyable days than the UK.

The South West is too hot in the Summer, Great in Spring and Fall.
Florida is nice in the Winter if you don't mind bugs, mold, and high
humidity In mid Winter the weather and temperatures can vary widely
from North Florida to South Florida..

The Mid West and Great Planes aren't all that bad in the Summer
although you will find the most varied weather. East and West coast
are more expensive than the South or South West. The Mid West is
probably the cheapest. (You should see the courtesy carsLOL)

I met a guy that lived on Adak in the Aluetian chain. He was a
weather specialist (what else would one do on Adak?) and estimated that
there were about 5 good VFR days out of the year.

Yes, but everything is relative.

You do realize they live by a different standard "up there".
It's a decent day when you can see your own wing tips and it's good
VFR when you can see the other side of a 75 foot runway.

Florida is too expensive (compared to AZ, for example), and the landscape
is boring, IMHO, but YMMV.
