Cities and the like are corporations.

If any political subdivision on a map counts, then school teachers,
firefighters, garbage collectors, and a vast number of other people
can fly without certificates and ignore the FARs.


If they are flying public aircraft they can. As I mentioned in a earlier
post many cities and counties have gotten surplus UH-58s (the military
version of the Bell 206 helicopter) these aircraft are not certified and
they don't have N numbers.
