[MilCom] CHERRY POINT AIR SHOW APRIL 30th 2016

[Rick Tharrington]

Got my answer about carrying my Icom R-1 into cherry point air show not
looking good. I even sent them a picture oh well.

I will be listening from the parking lot with my chair and camera. Any
comments ?

Good morning Sir,

 

I am going to say you should err on the side of caution and not bring the
radio due to the way it looks.  At first glance, it looks like a walkie
talkie and depending on the security guard he or she may turn you away and
you may have to take it back to your car.

 

I'm sorry I can't give you a more definite answer but with the security
issues in society these days, there are strict enforcements to protect our
public, assets and military members.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Let me know if you have additional questions.
