Flying a Helicopter?

   / Flying a Helicopter? #91  
I don't know the technicalities of the medical stuff. I recall the guy I mentioned above with the turbo commander.... I knew him since I was in about 5th grade. He ended up with heart problems and could no longer fly solo or 1st pilot. He could go along as copilot. But the fight was out of him shortly after not being in charge anymore. :(

They revoked my Fathers medical certificate, over two prescription medications, both of which were allowed separately, but not together.

The meds had not affected his ability to fly.

He did eventually develop disqualifying medical conditions, so fighting it, became moot.

He flew another 12 years, but always resented having to take his "kid", (yours truly), with him.

Dad was fortunate, I was quite comfortable in the right seat. And, after spending time teaching, quite capable. Otherwise, he would have had to quit flying much sooner. :laughing:

Too much talk and not enough action.....

Since this is a helicopter thread hopefully these pics will apply. Some I took, some I was given. Either way I think they are wayyyyy cool. Enjoy.
