With reference to post #180, there is every reason to accept that this aircraft was being flown quite legally. At least, in this country, innocence is presumed until guilt is proved. I think the aspersions would be better left for the authorities. A professional pilot appropriately licenced and rated may accept payment to fly an aircraft for a private flight. I have seen nothing to suggest that this was other than that, nor even that there was any payment involved. Posts insinuating otherwise are very inflammatory.
