CFI's last medical was on Mar 7, 2003 which means it was expired.

of the pilots was licensed to be up there.

Any medical issued to a pilot under 40 (which the CFI was) is good for
3rd class privileges for 3 years, which is all that is required for
flight instruction. The CFI was instrument rated, and presuming he was
current he had a legal right to be up there.

Actually, no medical is required for flight instruction.

The only requirement is to be pilot in command, which he obviously had
to be in this case.
