I am happy to announce receiving my 3rd class medical today, no restrictions, no penalties.  after thinking that my condition had ended my flying, and selling my RV-8 project and 20B, I had a miraculous surgery at UCLA in march which cured  my decade-long headache problem.  I still have my RV-6A (1000 hrs, O-320) and would like to build a 13B replacement.
So, if it ever quits raining I'm ready for my next flight (having only flown as PIC, passenger-in-charge, for the past year and sick of it).  Guess I'll have to sleep in a tent like everyone else at the round-up, having no disability now to get me the guest room at Tracy's :-)
this calls for another trip to the bahamas this spring!   kevin  portland, or

ps - i enthusiastically endorse virtual flight surgeons and the "new" FAA for their help and services.
