If you are a member of EAA you can request their assistance, but you can
probably find everything you need to know about flying your Europa in the US
on the FAA web site. Try here to start:
http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/cfrhtml_00/Title_14/14cfr375_00.html
One thing you must certainly do is get a weather briefing (call
1-800-WXBRIEF) before each departure and specifically request information on
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) along your route. These TFRs have a
habit of literally popping up on short notice, so failure to do this could
get you a formation flight with some military guys. Other than that you
should have a wonderful experience flying in US airspace.

Subject: Europa-List: Flying with European Europa in USA
<Klaus.Dietrich@oracle.com>
I want to fulfill my dream of flying my Europa around the US and attend
also Oshkosh....
As I'm not brave enough to cross the big pond in my little Europa, I was
planning to have her shipped in a container on the trailer, assemble her
once in the US and than enjoy flying across the country....
Could anybody give me some info on the regulation in place to fly a
european registered plane in the US?
Also any advise on the container shipping would be welcomed.
Thanks
Klaus (MkI, OE-CKD)
