I'm not doubting you. Just surprised.

I'm not sure just who or what is covered, but isn't a weapon
*required* for some commercial general aviation? I know, for
example, that virtually all commercial small aircraft operating
out of Barrow do have a weapon on board, and the location is
usually announce as part of the pre-flight spiel.

Hmmmmm. The only pre-flight spiel that Fred and the other pilot gave
