While the aircraft may be registered in our name, we act only at the direction of the

information at Wells Fargo Advantage Funds.

aircraft operating domestically unless you land in a foreign country or communicate

permitted, as long as the previous conditions are met. If you travel to a foreign
destination, such as Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, you must
have a license.
