I'm not sure you're onto something there - as a group, the pilots I know
are probably the least athletic and least fit and eat the worst foods of
any group I know! Go to any fly-in and notice the propensity to being
rotund.

How odd. Maintaining my medical has become one of my exercise mantras.
And
they're working. I'm in better shape now than when I started flying
several years ago.

It may be that I know a few people that lost their medicals (although at
least one got his back after a "final rejection" {8^).

Amen. After my recent high blood pressure scare, I lost 25 pounds. (And
I've been working out regularly for several years.)

Why? Because I want to live forever? Hell, no! I just want to keep my
medical for as long as possible, and there is simply no other way to do it.
