Yeah, but we allow old people like me to drive rv's through the mountains with a DL.

My current plan is to roll the dice that the new 180 hp - any weight plane - - rec pilot - no medical rule goes through.

Jeez, I could fly a Pitts or Lancair without a medical under that proposal. What's the big deal about a 1500lb plane at 120kts when I could be in a rocket at 12500 lbs?

I am actually shocked about the giant gap between the rules. If it goes through, it will be goodbye to my sport pilot license and a whole new world of planes I can fly...
