I know you are what you say you are, but who is or isn't in the
database? You retired before a cutoff? When was that? My father and
uncle are in the database, and both quit flying in the 1950's or early
60's, and my father died in 1976. I'm not challenging you, just curious
how the database is made up. I always thought all pilots were listed
unless they chose to opt out.

To tell you the truth I'm not sure how the data base works or when the
actual cutoff date was for back data. I haven't flown actively for many
years, but remain somewhat active as a safety consultant in various venues.
(See Aeroplane Monthly Feb 2004 issue "Precision Decision" by Gen Des Barker
of the SAAF. I go into some detail there concerning low altitude vertical
recoveries and demonstration flying in the P51 Mustang.)
If you would like my certificate numbers to check with the FAA for accuracy,
I'll be glad to supply them for you via private email. Perhaps you can clear
up for me while you are at it, why my name doesn't appear on the data base.
Just be advised that although I will supply you with the certificate
numbers, your lack of trust in my word that they exist without seeing them
will be the last time I have any contact with you.
No hard feelings, but I'm a stickler for trust, and proving things to people
on Usenet isn't my thing. I'm sure you understand. If your curiosity has to
be assuaged, please email me back channel and I will give you the numbers so
you can have them checked for authenticity and report back to any of the
Usenet idiots here who require such proof.
Thank you. It's your call.

Knowing your propensity to easily take offense, I tried to make it clear
that I wasn't questioning your credentials. I know who you are. I highly
respect your flying experience and the posts you make when RATIONALLY
discussing AVIATION matters. I don't want your certificate numbers.
Maybe someone else can answer my question.

You mean this is what you call "easily"?

"THANK YOU!!! Finally someone realizes that Dudley is an old
self-promoting, asshole piece of ****, ****ty "pilot." He spends too
much time on the computer, and no doubt has no skills or qualifications
to back up his claims. Read on...

Do a search in the FAA pilot database for Dudley Henriques. Wow; Look
at that! No entry for him! See that folks, he's not even a pilot!! So
for the last several years he's been doing nothing but spoofing us. He
is a SIMULATOR PILOT, and that's it!"

Why I don't see any reason at all why someone would be offended or even
prompted to respond to such a nice friendly post as this. No offense pal,
but my idea of "easily" is a WHOLE lot different than yours!
But then again....that's Usenet isn't it. Just chock full of nice friendly
people being misunderstood by those of us who have tendencies toward taking
offense so easily!! :-))

Well, aside from "easily take offense," I'm not the one who said all of
that stuff about you that you allude to. Please be gentlemanly enough
not to put other people's words in my mouth. I won't bother you further.

I have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about, and do as you
damn well please.

During the campaign there was a lot of hoo-hah about the president's
flying, so I looked him up in the FAA database. As I recall, he had a
single and twin certificate, but no current medical, and his address
was: unknown! I believe he last flew in the early 1970s.

However, this is the government, after all. It has been known to make
the occasional mistake.

I looked up the database yesterday, and it wasn't working at the time.
(Hey, it's the government!) But the introductory pages noted that
anyone who wanted could block his entry from being displayed.

And what did the introductory pages say about pilots who have never asked to
be included OR excluded from any FAA data base; who can physically sit in
their dens in 2005 holding their certificates in their right hand?
