Impaired Pilots

I've seen him go up in C152. It's seems to be quite a struggle for him
to get into the airplane. You're absolutely right, he really does seem
to enjoy it. Good for him.
It doesn't seem fair to assume that someone is drunk because they don't
sound "normal".

snipped Jay's message....

I've heard that guy. In fact I hear him almost every Sunday, usually
late in the afternoon. He sounds like he's about 95 years old. More
importantly than that, he sounds like someone that really loves
flying. He may sound impaired but you can "hear" him having fun when
he makes his calls. His radio calls are always accurate and
informative. I hope he can keep flying as long as he wants to. I
certainly hope that he is never grounded because someone doesn't like
the way that he sounds.
