BFR

Took my 13th BFR last night. Got to wondering how long ago BFR's were
first required. Anyone know?

Because I fly, I envy no one.

Did some googling and found some history at
http://www.avweb.com/news/columns/182236-1.html . Looks like it became
mandetory just before I began flying in 1976. It figures - Three year
3rd class medicals for those under 40 began just after I passed
40...........

You're doing it wrong, then. You should be adding new ratings.

I've pretty much always enjoyed doing things the _wrong_ way.

Getting new ratings costs a lot more money than just flying the
aircraft you already own more frequently.
