Hello everyone, first time post, long time reader. Looking for a little expertise on a crazy idea I have had brewing. I am looking to do some motorcycle riding through Laos and mostly along the Ho Chi Minh trail. I am curious what the rules and possibility are of bringing medium sized remnants or pieces of US aircraft parts back to the US. Mainly offering money to the locals for neat stuff I would like to bring back for small local aviation museums or just for display. I would really like some feedback on the possibilities, I plan on coming over in March. Thanks in advance.

The locals will probably sell the stuff to you but you will not be able to get it out of the country.

You would need to approach the appropriate Lao Govt department for information regarding this.

Hey Stumpy,
Do you have any links or info on who I could inquire with. I'm not looking for any kinds of old weapons or stuff like that. Maybe a small aircraft panel or the like. I'm curious about the feasibility of boxing it up, dropping it off at a shipper in Vientiane and sending it back. Thanks !

I suggest you Google search for the Mine Action Group [MAG] in Laos and contact them as they are in touch with govt departments.
