They did indeed but on leaving the USA you have to comply with International regulations which include Radio Licences!

Goldmember:
International regulations or local regulations? I know that the UK requires a radio licence; however, I just need to get a UK licence, not an American one...
Now I am really confused, I have an N reg aircraft bought in the US which did not have an FCC radio license which is understandable, I brought it to the UK and fly it on a FAA PPL upon its arrival I applied for and send a cheque in for 25 quid for a UK radio license, the cheque was returned and i was told I don't need one, so I have neither a US or Uk radio license. Is it perhaps because my aircraft is a base VFR with a one comms radio but no nav radio equipment such as vor/loc,adf,loran, dme etc ?
