regulatory agencies are much more out of touch with general aviation.

I see a difference between eurocratic obstructionism and US government
lunacy, but the effect can be the same. The thought of attempting to
get a Schweizerdeutsch aviation official to hand over a license is
enough to get me to turn in my passport and go no further than
Disneyland.

But there must be lots of more flexible aviation authorities, perhaps
in English-speaking areas of the Caribbean, that might write up valid
credentials in exchange for reasonable compensation.

Not that I have any imminent need for such. My airman's certificate
and medical are valid and I have no reason to think that will change,
even after this posting becomes public.
