Third Class Medical Reform FAQ's

I checked, but I didn't see my questions:

1. What on earth does my Anus need checking for in order to fly? There have been a ton of Third Class Medicals performed... somehow they got by without checking the Anus. But now, thanks to the AOPA...

2. What on earth did Mark Baker do to earn $780K in 2014? Is saying publicly that he is advocating for Pilots and then "negotiating" laws that require Private Pilots to get their Anus checked really worth all that? Couldn't even half that money been better spent furthering aviation? Or hey... I know, this is just crazy talk... reducing our annual "membership" fee?

I'm really just trying to make the FAQ page more useful.

Tell the good doctor you'll install one of Jose's relief tubes, if he'll forgo the digital exam.

Let me know if you get in touch with him. I tried this summer and got a disconnected number. Ended up at Dr. Crow in Vestavia HIlls.

I'm off to a pediatrician in Auburn . . .

Sent my details to the FAA today.

Last time, my details got lost in the U.S. mail.

I hope this works as well as the last time.

Dr. Foshee is my wife's grandfather. Just stayed with him this past weekend and flew into Clanton at 02A. (205) 928-1835. He does exams out of his house next to the airport where he has an office so not exactly "shade tree", but it is a nice spot to fly and convenient for pilots. He built two airplanes, owned a couple of Moonies, flew in the Air Force, and taught me how to fly. Tell him Drew sent you. He is a true pilots AME.

I got him on the first call. Had openings all week. Number I have is +1.205.928.1835. Not sure I would go to him for open heart surgery but he is just what the Dr. ordered for airman exams. Last time I was there, we talked for about an hour about planes and flying.

I didn't mean any disrespect. He is a very nice man. It feels like what going to the Dr. should be like - very personal and relaxed. He will pick you up with his golf cart if you let him know you are coming. I kind of do remember a nice shade tree outside?!

None taken! He's got a couple acres there by the airport with plenty of shade. Golf cart valet at no charge.
