ernrol Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 As some of you know before I was diagnosed, I had become an Angle Flight pilot. They fly patients to get treatment for cancer and other problems for free. Needless to say the FAA is reluctant to issue a medical certificate to someone like me. I am happy to say that after months of applications etc, that the FAA has issued me a third class medical certificate. I can now fulfill my ambition of helping cancer patients fly for treatment. This may be a first. Perseverance pays off. The Lord is GOOD! Stay positive, Ernie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
