Which is a shame. In Belize I was able to get a kind of taxi service to an island for like $90, in a single engine plane, which was great fun. Obviously there is some danger but I'd much rather be able to make the choice than have the government ban such things.

You can do that in the US, too. But the FAA requires a commercial pilot license (and slightly higher standards for the plane) rather than a private pilot license. Belize, fwiw, also has private pilot and commercial pilot licenses.
