I will say however that what you mentioned is the 3rd class medical reform for PPL that AOPA is big on. I too agree with the reform. As long as you have a D.L. and have passed that state's vision test to obtain that DL in the first place, then what AOPA is advocating is that a pilot be able to fly a plane in place of a 3rd class medical. It's not necessarily a bad thing.

I don't mean to sound catty or bitter,
I am a normal HWP (skinny if that) Female Flier; not some bitter chick. I just shake my head when gals like this rocket to the top, darn what it means for us other gals. Sigh......
