The Boone Head may need to fly as Cargo, rather than as checked baggage, due to it's size. You may need to check with the airline in advance.

I remember the Boone Head went to the '86 Frozen Four in Providence via cargo...

This Boone head isn't very large. The entire outfit ships in athletic bag that's about the size of a hockey bag. Its also pretty light.

We shipped the outfit from DC to Denver with no problems via the airlines.
