Do you rent a plane while here on vacation? I’m curious about a European flying vacation here (where first and the like)

Welcome!
No one said the USA is perfect but our general aviation is probably the most friendly globally, so we did that right (minus the 100LL fuel prices).

 

[Half Fast]

...so we did that less wrong...

FIFY

Are there countries with generally better 100LL prices than ours? ...at least countries without swords on their flag?

Probably not, but heck it should be cheaper. If I can find MOGAS for $3.50/gallon why is 100LL $5/6 per gallon and that’s lucky.

Hi ! yes indeed I rent a plane when I go in usa but i prefer to be assisted by a Cfi because I don’t know well the aera and the region
Simple question of safety for me and the others

Welcome! Tell us what flying is like for you in Belgium.

country is small so with a small airplane you could be quick in France in holland or in Germany
In Belgium we have some very nice place to fly !
Fluctuating price for avgas and cheaper in France
A lot of restriction for overflying
A lot of thing for a small country
But you could find always pleasure when you fly
