Uh, this guy I knew once flew up to Alaska and landed his airplane on
a private strip near a lake. The guy taking care of the closed hunting
lodge made a deal with him. If the pilot would go get some steaks and
beer, the caretaker would let him stay in the lodge for a couple of
nights. So he dutifully went back to the nearest town, loaded up on
beer and steak, and got to enjoy the lake and lodge.

I guess it was a commercial operation, but it sure wasn't part 135. In
some ways it was a humanitarian flight, as the caretaker was SICK of
eating trout and moose meat, but most of all he NEEDED beer. So
obviously there is THAT to consider as well. And after all, it WAS
Alaska. I hope the FAA understands these fine points, I'm sure I
don't.
