AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand
Check the guns and ship most/all of what would be your checked luggage. Carry on the essentials. Order up stuff on Amazon or wherever and just have it sent to friend's house local, sunscreen etc whatever. PIck it up there if going there or have it throw it in his car if he's picking you up on the way.
I also started using Tile (or whatever brand you want) bluetooth trackers. They are limited in range for the normal ones, but good enough that if you and your case are both in the baggage claim area, it should show up...and Tile uses other people's apps to find lost things, airports tend to be busy, it's a nice peace of mind being able to, at least to some extent, track the case yourself.
I got enough to know if I was within, like, 1 conveyor belt either direction. It wasn't a lot, definitely use the "pro" or whatever it is
Most of the time, phone had no idea where it was.
I have not yet had reason to try the lost feature which is supposed to anonymously show you the location of the tile if it's within range of other people's tile apps...that seems pretty usable at an airport in theory

Guns in a Pelican.
Drop ship ammo.
High value items like NVG/thermals in your carryon if applicable.
Consider what you actually need for the class vs what you want or might normally use, consider refining.
Test pack what you want to fly with. Ship excess or bulky items ahead of you if you need them.
Ensure you leave enough time for typical shipping, and then some.

Not being a LEO/MIL I try to keep as discrete as possible. I use a soft sided rolling golf bag to travel. I’ve only flown that way once, but travelled by car a lot that way and it helps with the odd stares at hotels that other obvious shapes might bring.
There is a weight limit on ammo by air, depending on airline(IIRC), and it is best if in factory packaging.
I like the Tile/Apple-thingy idea. Hell, walk up and down the airplane aisle and you’ll probably get a ping to know it made it that far…

It's that simple.
Thanks for the advice everyone, travel went smoothly. I shipped the ammo. Guns, mags, and pocket knife in a Pelican 1720, which I checked for $30. Battle belt, safariland, and helmet in carry-on. (I used borrowed NODs for this class, otherwise would have been in carry-on, also.).
The only issue was that according to Alaska Airlines, you can't have ammo in the same case as the guns. In the past when I flew with a pistol, I always had a box of defensive ammo in the pistol case, and that was fine. Last trip like that was 6 years ago. I watched two TSA videos on YouTube before this trip which provided conflicting info on this, so I called Alaska and they said ammo must be in a separate case. I did not want to check a separate bag, so decided not to mess with transporting ammo.
