    [QUOTE=robert l;66734]Guns and airplanes, I'm in. This isn't really important but, is it legal to mount a gun on an aircraft, or truck for that matter ? Just curious, that's all.

    Coyote hunting Super Cubs used to be "a thing." Beyond that I can shed no light.

    It is totally legal to mount a firearm on an aircraft.

    It is totally legal to fire a firearm from an aircraft - see dropping objects.

    Individual airports and the BATF may have an interest, but not the FAA.

    Probably an old wives tale, but aren't you *required* to carry a firearm in your plane in Alaska?

    It used to be. The requirement for a firearm in the mandatory minimum survival gear was dropped a few years ago.

    The dropping of the firearm mandate was the result of an incredible lobbying effort by the hungry bears and angry moose.

    Been to Sturgis once and Osh three times, no similarity at all.

    But,,

    Maybe a few bodacious babes in g string and a couple bandaids would live it up.

    May cause a few more accidents.

    Imagine seeing one of them waving you off the runway.

    Bam,,,straight into another airplane.

    yep , Ray ,"no similarity at all"
    No location that folks return to year after year with mutual interest in a certain type of machinery. No one with T shirts again with logos or photos on them.No leather jackets often with pictures on the back. No girls advertising beer, no beer tents. No sponsor by Harley. No boon to area hotels or restaurant, no crowds just walk right in. No engine or exhaust noise.No one revving a loud engine. No high speed runs. No food trucks. No best of show judging. no high performance or homebuilt machines. No tool vendors. No large crowds. No extra workers hired for the event. Nothing for sale not any bikes or planes for sale or sold. No auctions ,no bulletin boards. No ban on firearms. No crowded parking , plenty of room just pull right in anywhere. No one from Canada or all over the U S. Never an accident. No scenic area like lakes or mountain parks. No publicity, nothing famous about the gathering or the location. No police presence. No majority of older white guys. No bands or music. No crash helmets or protective clothing for riding or flying.

    Bill, comparing Sturgis to Oshkosh is like comparing Sturgis to ComicCom in San Diego. All large "type" meetings are similar in fundamental ways.

    And very, very different.
