That should tend to prove the defintion of "transportation" in the VC. It is the nature of the use of the road that creates "Incidence", going from one field to another- not the actual physical control over a self-propelled machine. The pilot cannot be "taking persons or property from one point to another" because in this case he is just going from one field to another.

Its more proof that the operators license for a motor vehicle has to do with the kind of use, not the actual steering (driving in the common sense).

I am thinking "they" just changed "passengers and/or cargo", to "persons and/or property"... an obfustication.
