I tool a layoff of 20 years. There is a way to cheat at least here in
Oregon. Go to your AME and ask/schedule for a DOT physical for your
commercial drivers license (whether you have one or not). The DOT
physical is the exact same as the FAA phys, Just a different form. In my
case I got the DOT part and after it was passed I asked the Doc to fill
out the FAA paperwork. I get BOTH for $80.00

Great tip, Rocky!
Thanks.
