It has been my experience that pilots like to hear medical stories more than I want to hear piloting stories (hopefully not much daily excitement as a civil transport guy...)

)There are a lot of flying doctors still. At least a dozen in one of the hospitals where I work, that I know about. Flying is a great gift and should be encouraged by pros, pro-ams, and amateurs alike. Remember, you (and to a smaller extent even me for GA) represent the profession / pilots and the public perception etc.
