Flying with a rig

Blair Bates
I have flown several times with a rig as carry on luggage.  I always carry
a rig manual and license (US plus destination license if going out of US,
or CEPT language).  Never had a problem.  Worst case was having to put
radio in plastic tub for X-ray plus explosive swab.

Sometimes, when beginning or ending a trip on a small-plane regional
carrier, I have had to check my carry on luggage.  But, a K-3 or smaller
radio (in a soft bag) should fit under the seat and avoid that
re-categorization as checked baggage.  With a larger, hard-shell case, or
inside a larger "carry-on" the bag with radio might have to go to the cargo
hold.
