Why would anyone up here even look ,,,, or be concerned,,,,, no big
deal really coming up here. I think that American Pilots generally
seem much more concerned about Regulatory Detail as do the British.
Here in Canada we tend not to get so excited about Government
Regulations and perhaps it is because we feel that the government
doesn't ever get excited about the needs of us ordinary peasants
Ron,
The problem may not be going to Canada as much as coming back into the
US. Back in the '80s I used to fly from Detroit up to Toronto in my 172
that had small registration numbers. At some point I has to put
additional numbers on the rear of the plane so customs could easily
identify the plane.At one point a friend of mine had to tape his numbers
on the plane to meet some customs regulation when flying to the
Bahamas. I now live farther from the border and have not flown to
Canada for fifteen years or so. I'm not sure what the current
regulations are, but I would not be surprised if the problem involved
penetration of an Air Defense Zone or something like that. They want the
F-16 pilot to be able to get the N number before he fires the rockets.
