Again, understood. But
14 CFR 91.315, titled “Limited Category Civil Aircraft—Operating Limitations,” which states the following: “No person may operate a limited category civil aircraft carrying persons or property for compensation or hire.” was on the books long before this ruling. So how were they able to offer rides for compensation *prior* to this ruling?
We have an Air Show in a Minneapolis suburb every summer that offers rides in a B17. The only thing that might allow this is the B17 is NOT a Limited Category aircraft, therefore it's exempt from 14 CFR 91.315.
