Here is what you have to do PRIOR to flying into the US,
regardless of
whether or not you are a US citizen:

Here is just one excerpt:
All civil, private aircraft entering the U.S. must first land at an
airport of entry before continuing to their destinations, unless
other
arrangements are made with U.S. CBP.
The penalties for violating these laws is pretty stiff, including
confiscation of the offending aircraft. And, if you are going to break
US
law anyhow, DON'T post your flight on the Internet!
This flight would have never happened in the winter months, all
the
Canadians would be in Florida.
********, that's when the wave of the Rockies is usually the best,
maybe you have seen some of Chester's earlier flights. Nobody
mentioning Kieth Essex's flights across the border into Canada a few
years ago I see. I guess you guys should be afraid -War of 1812.
FFS what a thing to post -did you check the facts first with the pilot
about what happened before posting?
