I got the flu shot with my Class 2 medical last month and proceded to get
the worst cold of my life, it's been 3 weeks since it started and I'm still
coughing and congested. Some days I'm fine and can fly and other days I
wish somebody would just shoot me. As far as the true flu, it hasn't hit
around here yet, I'm sure it will wait until Christmas when everybody is
inside and close to one another so they can spread it really good.

Over 1/3 of my son's middle school went home (or called in) sick
yesterday.
It's all over the news that this is the worst flu outbreak since the
killer
1918-1919 flu epidemic. (Which, incidentally, claimed my grandfather, and
very nearly killed my grandmother, while she was pregnant with my Dad.)

My CFI buddy said that half of his students cancelled lessons in the last
few days, and there was only one other person in the pattern with us
yesterday, on a CAVU afternoon. (Of course, the icy runways may have had
*something* to do with it!)

How's it in your neck of the woods? Anyone ever been hit with the flu (or
similar) while airborne?
