Who knows. I wonder if a 2nd class medical is required by ICAO but the
US, Mexico, and Canada are just waving that requirement to a 3rd
class.

One thing that seem to confuse some of people who replied to this thread:
the new medical certificates for the JAR countries only have a class-I and
a class-II, but the new class-II is really the old class-III (same
requirements); they just renamed the old class-III, that's all (I know I
also have one of those);

Anyway, you can fly in any ICAO country with your N-registered aircraft,
your FAA issued pilot certificate and your valid FAA issued medical
certificate, the locals cannot question your credentials, i.e., if it is
valid for the FAA, it is valid for them, end of story. If they are not
happy with it, they are free to leave the ICAO (it becomes a wee bit more
complicated when you want to fly locally registered aircraft -- and some
countries add insurance requirements, but that's a different issue).
