    Insurance when flying to Canada

    Asking for a friend. It appears one of the documents required to fly into Canada is proof of insurance with specific liability limits. What happens if you have wrong limits? Is this checked every time you arrive? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Camping at OSH

    I’m flying to OSH for 1st time with a buddy. I see camping rules say only one tent unless for immediate family. How strict are they on this? I’d prefer not to share a tent with my buddy. We each have individual tents. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aztec issues?
