Sure dug that up from the dark ages. Nobody was pulling his leg. Border was
still on high alert in 2002 after 9/11. No transponder..no cutting the
corner across the imaginary line.

Some "official" was pulling his leg! Can't fly over Maine??? My guess is

he

contacted someone who wanted to see if he spoke French ... i.e. gives up
easily. All joking aside, our government officials will never allow common

sense

to prevail! I once (knew of a guy) who flew into Wasington State from
Canada flying a Canadian registered helicopter ( no Canadian license!). It
turned out that one of the passengers (japanese) needed a Visa if arriving

by

private aircraft! He argued with the Customs official, re-entered the helo

with

the passenger and took him direct to the ramp at Vancouver where he
boarded a commercial airline to SeaTac (no visa required!). He returned to
the US, and picked up the other passenger and went on the Sea Tac. (read
two illegal border crossings) The customs official asked what the pilot

did

with the "illegal" ... "Oh, just flew out to sea and let him swim in ....

I think he

can swim." NOTHING MORE WAS ASKED ... papers filled out and the Agent
was home in time for dinner!

-> Yes, I know that part Bruce as the same applies in Canada. The question
is whether or not you can cross the border without one. Our local club
member was refused flight over Maine on his way to Nova Scotia, without a
transponder, adding a fair number of hours to his flight by requiring him

to

take the IFR (I follow road) route through Quebec, New Brunswick and then
down to NS.

-> A transponder is not required to fly over USA territory unless you

are

in "C" or "B" airspace such as any major airport l like SeaTac (Seattle)

or

Spokane International. most smaller general aviation towered airports,

like the

ones we use, allow flight without an encoding transponder.
