They may well sell the stuff but do they deliver the stuff?

Hey Rutan Around,

I've got no idea, nor any concerns, about whether they do sell or deliver. I just wonder why these operators can keep advertising (and presumably employ people) for these sorts of operations over and over again.

The operation itself does not sound legitimate to me regardless of the legality of the "stuff" being transported or sold. If taking a photo and selling it after a private flight has complications, and conducting private flights for charity are under the microscope, how does this type of operation keep popping up time after time without any apparent concerns from the regulators?

If this was dodgy, surely the mob against aviation would have acted before now? If it isn't dodgy, why do others get such heavy scrutiny?

Just doesn't sound reasonable to me.
