Anyone care to predict what the FAA would (or should) say? Assume costs

If you have to ask, you *know* what the FAA will say. "Excuse me, sir. Can we
have that piece of paper we gave you that says you can fly back?"

The solution is simple. Don't share costs for stuff like that. The immediate
expenses of my Maule are about $20 an hour. If I don't like someone well enough
to fly him an hour or two for free, then I don't fly him.

Now, if someone wants to go to Oshkosh and *I* want to go to Oshkosh, it's a
different matter, but that's not the case here.

Don't sweat the small stuff.
