Edit: Similar to visiting the Jack Daniel's distillery. Situated in a dry county, they can't, by law, sell you Jack Daniel's. What they can do though, is sell you a commemorative bottle, and as a free gift, they fill it with their signature product in liquid form.

Not sure I agree. The ruling is based on 14 CFR 91.315; “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.”
Yep, I understand your explanation but how *doesn't* this also include taking John Q. up for rides at an air show? If I own a P-40 Warhawk and charge John Q. Public $200.00 for a 10 minute ride, isn't that operating the limited category aircraft for compensation?
