I have an FCC radio license. No one has ever asked for it here either,
but flying clubs et al. often stress the point you need one, but have
only ever looked at my medical and pilot certificate.

I'm just wondering if I should throw out the $100 fee before flying up
to Canada. My gut tells me not to worry about it any more than I do in
Mexico.

Sounds like it's gone up a bit! Mine was issued on 9/9/1999, and cost
$45.
