Not likely. IIRC, there was an article recently in one of the
aviation pubs (AOPA Pilot, I think)
where a pilot flew a doctor and nurse to a crash site for no pay, and
wound up getting written up
by the FAA. Their view was that, even though the pilot didn't charge
anything for the flight, the doctor and nurse WERE being paid, and
therefore, it was deemed a commercial/135 operation.


OK. What if the mechanic were not onboard the flight and it were only Mark
and the replacement crew (with nobody getting paid for their time)?
