there is allot of reasons, but here a few:

  • among my favourites are your advances in space exploration, like landing on the moon and returning, or the Hubble space telescope
  • your R&D into medical advancement
  • brilliant technologies like the building of the Golden Gate or Verrazano bridges, the undertaking of the biggest building project since the time of the great pyramids: the World Trade Center Buildings and a fantastic system of interstate freeways
  • Harley Davidson
  • Chicago's waterfront and parks system
  • the fine dining in San Fransico and the excitement of NYC night-life
  • California blonds :D
  • and the best of all for me: visiting my relatives in Livonia, Mi.

For me, it would have to be the wide open spaces of the American midwest. There's nothing like it. Somehow, it makes one one just feel free and clear-minded.

The people obviously.  A country is it's people not it's geography or it's politics.

I was in America twice for six weeks at a time not as a tourist but training or working with Americans.  I have to say I never had a negative moment from any of the people I met there. I was always met by genuine openess and hospitality.  That I have to say is remarkable.

What I also love about it is the sense that you can achieve anything you want to do if you really want it. There is a part of America for anyone.

I love the flying there too. It's a fantastic way of seeing America.  Renting a plane is easy

Later this year I hope to tour the west coast. California and maybe a certain town in Nevada by air and on the ground.

The cold crisp air of the Rockies after a 20 mile hike in to the Highcountry, Narrow Gauge Steam power, the feeling than any thing is possable if you work hard at it, and folks who dont quit no matter what.

The freedom/ability to do the things you like to do.

Take a simple thing like hunting pheasant. In many, many places this is a sport almost exclusively for the truly rich.

Here, it's pretty much "everyman's" sport; there's access to millions of acres of public land for the minimal price of a hunting license.

Excellent trout fishing is pretty much the same situation.

Flying? Here it's relatively cheap and (while my fellow US pilots won't agree) only lightly restricted. Lots of airspace to roam and licensing isn't really a problem if you can walk and chew gum.

Lots of things that way here and I enjoy those opportunities.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!
