John, IMHO, I was "on final."

Jim, you asked the question, and received many answers from people with far
broader experience than your own, the preponderance of which disagreed with
your opinion. These you refuse to accept. So be it.

Try thinking of yourself as one of many many pilots who make up the entire
aviation system, instead of one pilot with an inviolable right to fly
wherever, whenever. You also ought to rethink this idea you seem to have
that you can interpret the regs as you see fit. Things will be smoother.

You strike me as a very smart amateur who just loves to second guess and
think to death little perceived cracks in the regulatory structure -- the
kind of person who gave rise years ago to all the old jokes about Doctors
and Bonanzas.

I wish you luck with your future flying.
