I actually did manage to get a private pilot's license in 1992. Learning to
fly was relatively easy, but the letter/phone/fax battle with the FAA over
issuing me a medical was a nightmare that took more than six months. <sigh>

i could not get the medical from faa




Now jumping out of them is a totally different matter. Not very many pilots
are skydivers. The prevailing attitude among pilots - which I share - is why
on earth would anyone want to voluntarily jump out of a perfectly good
airplane? <grin>

well, i could have done it, but, after the girl i was trying to impress was
forbidden to date me by her mom (no gimp for her daughter) i had no reason
to procede. turned out that her mother did her a great disservice, the younf
man that she was allowed to date was a turd and treated her shamfully.
something this gimp would have never done.
