Yes but there's no legal requirement to be insured.

No...only the cash to pay the premiums.

Or not pay any premiums at all. I know of at least two aircraft that are
flown uninsured, however, this is because they are slow and have very
low hull values so insurance is almost certainly a dead loss for the
owners.

One of my buddies carries no insurance at all. He owns/flies a Cub, two
182's, two Agwagons, a Baron, a Beech 18, a Cessna 414 and two helicopters,
a Hiller and a Jet Ranger. The helicopters and the Agwagons are used in his
business, although since he is sitting on a pile of money it doesn't matter
if he ever sprays again.
