What sort of organization might that be? Are you a CFI? It's not
clear exactly what you're suggesting. You've also not mentioned your
location. I presume you intend to find the organization you suggest
nearby.

I am not a CFI, yet. I am actually working on my Commercial, I have roughly
230 hours, trying to get to the 250 bench mark.

Sorry I should have said I was in Dallas TX. I was talking about
organizations like Civil Air Patrol, where they would supply the plane, and
a little mission. Though I haven't been able to get a hold of anyone there
yet to see what kind of opportunities that have for some one like me.

Don't you know that CAP stands for Come And Pay ? While mission flight
costs are usually reimbursed to you, becoming qualified to be a mission
pilot is a time consuming effort which will cost you some money.

It will cost you a lot of time -- but compared to flying in the "real world"
not much money.

I am in the process of getting checked out in CAP as a pilot -- I'll report
on it when I've finished the process.
