I have a friend that is purchasing a plane and will start a business
of tow banner. He said I could fly the plane for him without been paid
, this way I can get many hours on my logbook.

Is it legal to do banner towing on a PP license without receiving
payment for it?

Just a side note....

A friend of mine *was* a banner instructor before 9/11. He said since
then the banner towing business has been severly hurt. With 3 mile
restrictions around most sporting events the business is hurting.

I'm sure some people still tow over beaches or citys. But he said
after 9/11 the lack of need for banner instructors made him go back to
his other CFI/II duties. However, he's glad to be doing somthing
different now. I think his words were "If you think a 2 - 3 hour
student will kill you, try flying with a banner towing student..."
