Cory confirmed in an email to the Free Press that the plane Whitmer took"is not on a 135 certificate and Air Eagle does not have a Part 135 certificate." Retired FAA Inspector Larry Williams told the paper that aircraft owners are allowed to bus them and their friends around for free under a Part 91 certificate but that any other passenger required the Part 135 certification.
