FFF, I think you've missed my point. The USA is extremely sensitive about foreign nationals flying aircraft over their territory. If our friend one shoe is supposed to have a visa, and is discovered flying without one, he will be deemed to have deceived the authorities and may be treated as, at the very least, an illegal alien and, at worst, as a potential terrorist. It doesn't matter whether you agree with this US stance or not; it is a fact, and the consequences could seriously spoil one shoe's day. Witholding information from immigration is just as much deception as telling an outright lie. This is not about getting away without a visa, it's about doing the right thing.

I repeat: talk to the US Embassy and follow their advice.
