Air Travel with compress air tank….
You must remove the valve on your tank so officials can view clear to the bottom of the tank insuring it is empty.
Some people choose to mail themselves the tank instead of bringing it on an airplane.

Let me be the first to attest to this. It was a couple of weeks back, and I was returning from AZ with a new Condor from AOA. Unfortunately, I should’ve researched abot this sooner but learned the hard way. They weren’t going to let me to have my bottle unless I showed them it was really trully empty. Lucky thing a US Airways exec helped me to get some tools from some maintenance personnel. But even then they didn’t have the proper tools, so I had to MacGuyver the valve off the tank in-front of a crowd of TSA Officers in a crowded busy US Airways check-in. But my bottle eventually flew with me to Hawaii!!!!
Hats off to Phoenix TSA and US Airways for being patient with this sorry Hawaiian tourist!!!!
