Keeping Flying History in the Air
For Regulation relief, have you considered operating under a ‘Limited COA in the Experimental Category’ using ‘Schedule 5’ maintenance program? (It is ironic that a proven aircraft that has been flying for over 70 years and of which over 16,000 were built should be considered ‘experimental’.)
I believe you can still carry passengers provided they are members of a suitable organisation as set up. That is, there is a membership joining fee component to their ticket.
