Flying Freight / Cargo for hire???

Mark

Had a tour in Panama (USAF) and we would have a bird go AOCP (Acronym
for "Aircraft Out of Commission for Part) someplace down country. We'd
get on the radio (SSB) and tell the organization at Albrook AFB, CZ,
and they would take the part out to Tucuman (Civilian Airport for
Panama City) and give to a Commercial Airline Pilot coming our way and
they would carry in cockpit and hand off to us at BA or Lima or some
other place where we were stranded.

Think the airlines helped each other the same way if they had a bird
AOCP.

These parts did not go through customs so no 2-3 day delay getting to
broke bird.

you know, just stuff.....
I cant find anything in the regs about freight or cargo ops for commercial
pilots, just operators.....

Thanks, Mark
