For going to the OKC airport, yeah.
But if you're driving in the southwest, it can't hurt to bring your
AOS receipt. There are permanent and moving immigrations and customs
checkpoints here and there; we've been stopped at them before. While
they're not likely to be looking very hard at anyone who's roughly
Anglo, it would still be smart to have a copy of the receipt since
it's as close as you're going to get to proof of being in status.

Re: Travel WITHIN the US
I have been travelling in some states, by car or plane. Never got any difficulty just by showing my US Driving License in the airports. But hey, it wont hurt carrying your EAD, or maybe the copy of your passport. They arent that heavy anyway

Well the I-94 isn't proof that you are allowed to say in the US - it might have expired while you are waiting for your AOS.

Re: Travel WITHIN the US
Depending on your state you may be able to do just that. Go to your local department of motor vehicles and get a state I.D. card. In Louisiana you can do so by showing your EAD with six months validity remaining or your K-3 with six months validity remaining.
Hint research your states regulation's carefully. You may have to "teach" the DMV employees their job.
Regardless, of you ID I would have on my person proof of legal presence.
Good Luck!

I know that if you have a green card that you are required to carry it.
I wonder whether carrying other proof is required for other non citizens

Re: Travel WITHIN the US
If you are asking what to bring, make sure you bring your storm shelter. April/May/June is tornado season....oh yeah "Welcome to Tornado Alley." My husand and in-laws experienced their first a few weeks before we got married!
We live in OKC. A lot different from Florida. I dont know where exactly the wedding is going to be or how long you are going to be here, but if you need some tips on fun places (which are minimal I'm afraid) to visit...just ask. I'll be more than happy to help!
