Well, you *can* own one, but the courts can take steps to prevent you from
usingit if there's good reason to believe that you intend to fly it yourself.
The FAA has in the past obtained court orders to padlock aircraft owned by
people whose certificates were revoked. Care to bet on whether they'll do it
this time or not?

But they help pilot certificates. That is different from not having a
certificate. Rules of evidence apply (as I understand it, based on
stories in the Southern US).

Care to bet on whether a PA judge will take longer than 5 seconds to issue the
order?

Probably easier now under the Patriot Act. They can do anything they
want.
