You have repeatedly expressed disdain for pilots and "our social

No. I have expressed reservations concerning "pilots" who seem to be
more interested in the treehouse-club mentality than in aviation
itself.

You claim that your sim experiences are equavalent to piloting a
physical aircraft without being able or willing to "prove it" - to
yourself or others.

No. I claim that many aspects of simulation are identical or nearly
identical to real-world flight ... and as far as I know (and have been
told), this is true.

No, it isn't, fjukktyard, not even in a multi million dollar sim..

I oughta know..

Doctors don't go off on their patients calling them morons when the
patient disagrees with the prognosis, why should pilots? It's just
not professional.

Doctors, as a group, are somewhat smarter than pilots, and they
acquire vastly more knowledge about their profession than most pilots
ever acquire about their own. This makes them less insecure.

However, I have met insecure doctors who behave like many of the
pilots here, expecting others to grovel, and becoming emotional and
abusive when the groveling fails to materialize.

Snort!

I'll bet you meet a LOT of doctors.

Hell, unless I'm mistaken, even Bob Hoover had to fly with another
pilot on board, at one time, to act as PIC.


And I'd dare ANYONE to question his flying ability.

Didn't some FAA drone do exactly that? (yanked his medical because his
performance wasn't up to snuff)

No, it had nothing to do with his performance. It had EVERYTHING to do with
the arrogance and stupidity of one FAA individual exercising power he never
should have had.
Like all government stupidity, this incident, once put in the pipeline by
this incredibly incompetent individual , had to work itself out through the
agonizing process Bob and the entire aviation community on several
continents had to go through to reverse it.

Wasn;t the original reason (excuse) given that his performance was sub-par?

I'm not saying it was, I'm just saying that someone claimed it was.

Some of my best friends are doctors. I like smart people, and doctors are
usually somewhat smarter than the rest of the pack.

What, exactly, did this FAA individual do in this incident?

Now that's got me thinking, Dudley! I will look into it before I get any
older. That's got me excited! Thanks.

Lets see who goes first Old Bloke. *L*


Dudley is right on guys. Check in to this. Lack of a medical or even many
physical limitiations don't have to ground you. When I was learing to fly in
the early 70s, one of the local heros had flown for years. Owned a small
grass strip and a 150 with pipeline windows in the lower doors, he had done
commerical work in for many years. When the addition of a pacemaker cost him
his medical, he went on for many years flying with any pilot that wanted to
ride along for free. He continued to remain very active for a very long
time.

I bet you do indeed know a lot of doctors. Be sure and tell them your
friends on the UseNet suggested increasing your meds.

I understand. The "official reason" was close to what you have described.
There wasn't a word of truth to it as far as I and many in the aviation
community are concerned. Most of the people involved in it are now out of
the FAA. A few remain.
