Good luck with the seat reservation.
Do you expect to get by, without problems, with your A-7? One time, on a trip back to Pittsburgh from Maine, with a marine sextant, I went round and round a bit with security personnel, a lady in this case, who didn't understand what a sextant was. She had asked me what was in the box I was carrying. When I answereed a marine sextant, she looked sort of blank, puzzeled. When I told her that it was "a navigational instrument", the problem was solved.
Have a good trip, good shoting.
Alan
