One thing that occurred to me after my posting was that Senator Kerry took
the time to renew his medical in December 2003, while he was travelling around the country in the middle of a heated primary battle. It cannot have been easy to schedule a free afternoon, and it suggests to me that he was at least planning on making time to fly during the rest of the campaign (otherwise, why not let the medical lapse for a year?). It's not like he had to find the doc on the internet, call the office, make an appointment, sit in the office for an hour, etc., etc., etc., like the rest of us schleps. In the rarified atmosphere of the political class -- especially in the world of a Heinz heir -- I truly doubt the Mr. Kerry had to do anything beyond mentioning it to one of his handlers. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I doubt Kerry even showed up for an exam. Just because you hold a certificate does not mean you are current. Demonick |

To be in the standard FAA Airmen database you need both a pilot certificate and a current medical certificate. About 4 years ago the FAA had some sort of problem and many pilots in MA were disappeared from the listing. I chased it down and found that all of the problem pilots had medical certificate status listed as "pending". Nobody could explain that or what it means! My AME was kind enough to reissue my medical. |

You don't need a current medical, or a medical at all to stay listed
in the FAA airman database. Some of the links such as Landings.com only list the current airman, however. On Fri, 13 Aug 2004 22:59:03 GMT, "William W.
