Interesting thread. What if you were flying your own freight? i.e. you were
in the import business and flew your DC-6 over to China a couple times a
week to pick up products you intended to sell here? I would assume that it
would still fall under part 121.

I'm a commercial pilot and have been asked by several people if I could
bring things over for them.... tires for a business, etc....
you know, just stuff.....
I cant find anything in the regs about freight or cargo ops for
commercial
pilots, just operators.....

Its best to write (not talk) to the local FSDO. They're the ones that
are likely to be deciding if it is right or wrong after the fact, so
you might want their opinion beforehand. Having it in writing will be
helpful. There is a guy here in Sacramento that goes up and takes
pictures of property and sells them to developers. He only has a
private pilot's certificate but the local FSDO wrote him and said he's
fine as a private.
