@freemo I don't know what definition they're using, but where you want to look is here: https://vfrmap.com/
It's a map of airspace, cobbled together from the maps regularly published by the FAA. You'll see a magenta line labeled "CONTIGUOUS U.S. ADIZ". That's the one that matters.
My best guess is that IFR (instrument-based) flights that file a domestic flight plan and remain tracked the entire way through can skip going through customs but VFR (visual-flight) are not tracked the whole way and would thus be subject to customs.
Keeping mind I know nothing about nothing on this topic... attached map of where international waters start would suggest the gulf of mexico is not considered internation airspace (assuming its defined the same as international waters)

@kilroy_was_here Yea me too.. at this point I feel like rejecting the delivery at the door is the best answer... because that way instead of **me** paying by needing to pick it up myself, UberEats pays for their incompetance by doing all the work and getting no money if they mess up... this feels much more in line with "justice" :)

@freemo It is essentially unregulated, but there are international conventions pilots follow to prevent accidents and such.
The real bitch of it is, though, that if you go even a little bit out over international waters, then when you get back, you're required to go through customs.
@LouisIngenthron Oh really... so say a flight from miami to the southern tip of texas, if it took a straight trip over the gulf of mexico, it would have to go through customs despite being within the USA?
@kilroy_was_here Im too damn lazy for that... but yea i funno what it is but post COVID the quality control on delivery plummeted and i very rarely get a delivery that is complete.
It seems almost intentional (and ive had managers I know tell me it is) where if they dont have something its easier to just not include it then to take the time to call and ask, because most people are too lazy to complain... and when someone actually does complain its so often that they side with the resteraunt... so they have no motivation tog et it right.
@LouisIngenthron MAkes sense.
Is international waters and the airspace above it completely unregulated.. or is it like ships and you have to follow the rules of your country of origin?

@freemo Yeah, that's because Ultralights are also allowed in class E airspace (typically from 1,200 ft AGL to 10,000 ft MSL) too, so long as they don't get too close to a controlled airport or overfly congested/populated areas. And class E usually does require a license for most other craft. So that's a little more expansive than just uncontrolled class G.
Another fun fact: Above 60,000 ft MSL is *also* uncontrolled class G, which is why space capsules don't have to check in with air traffic control on each orbit.
@LouisIngenthron Ahh ok, then yes that tracks with what I said and what I thought the case was. Like I knew you couldnt fly it over cities. and I knew you could fly it in spaces that normally require a license.
The fact that above a certain height is class G does make sense... that said the space capsule still had to go through registered space to get that high at some point...
@LouisIngenthron I am far from an expert but I did seriously almost buy an ultralight, so i did a lot of hobbiest research, take it with a grain of salt
What ultralight pilots told me is the plane itself is very restricted.. it must be a single passanger (just you) for example, has strict weight limits etc... Even if you operate in the same space as an ultralight and the only difference is you add a seat and take a passanger, just that alone means you need a license. Also if the plane is heavier than the limits on a ultralight, one seat or not, that too needs a license in the same space.
I cant tell you exactly what space your allowed in or what altitudes. but I know for a fact that back when i looked into this any plane that didnt meet the specs of an ultralight could not fly int he same space as an ultralight without the pilot being licensed.

@lowqualityfacts I would pay every penny I had to give Trump a democratic primary win just so I could see every democrat AND republican absolutely loose their shit and not know what to do with themselves....

I hope the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" crowd understands that if Trump suddenly announced he's running as a Democrat they would be forced to vote for him. They would have no choice. They are honor bound by the code.
@LouisIngenthron Wait, are you suggesting you can fly any aircraft in class G space? As i understand any plane other than an ultralight needs licensing in class G space... you cant just legally fly a boeing 747 as longa s you keep it low...

Thats a lot of words for saying "yea jeff, your right, there is a class of airplane you can fly without a license"
I mean your correct that this class of airplane is not allowed to be flown in certain areas, as with many classes of aircraft it has restrictions... but what I said remains correct, you can fly it without any license of any kind, so long as you follow the rules around where you can fly it.
Not sure what gun this is off hand... but as I stated that is **not** a gold muzzle.. its Titanium Nitride. It is used for superior wear resistance. My gun has it also, see herr:
Thats not a gold plated muzzle.. It is called "Titanium Nitride" my gun has it.. it is a stronger metal and therefore resists wear. It has a gold like color but it is not gold and you dont buy it for the looks.
