If it's actually true this time, that would be great. Finally moving into the
21st century.

We can only hope...and maybe write our Congressperson.

If the 3rd Class medical requirement were removed, wonder what that
would do to the LSA market.

I would be very surprised if the 3rd class medical went away but not surprised
at major revisions that put it somewhere between what it is now and the LSA
requirements.

In either case I doubt it would have a very large effect on the LSA market
as where else can you buy a new, 2 place aircraft that is really cheap to
fly for a bit over $100k?
