i know

it ALL boils down to this

is he operating under part 91 or part 135

MENENDEZ PAID - that we know

[sloop]

oops - and one caveat - do those flights and payments fall into a part 91 exception

He would be operating legally under Part 91. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree. The problem would be the law that compelled him to reimburse a donor for the flight. That law has nothing to do with the FAA.
