Blue skies and tail winds to all (except the tailwind part on landing!)

I'm a private pilot (ASEL, IA) and was diagnosed with Type 1 in March (at age 50!). Let my medical expire...but now that I've got things under control I'm interested in getting my medical certificate back. The folks at the Naomi Berrie Center where I am being treated say they have worked with several pilots to get their medical certificate...I hope to start the process soon. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi all, I'm a newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic. It has been a tough couple of weeks since my diagnosis. Unfortunately I'm a commercial helicopter pilot and this news has me making plans to go back to school. I've been flying for 11 years now and have 5800 hrs on several different types. The plan is to start as an apprenticeship and be a heli mechanic. At least I'll be involved in a business I know well. Very happy to say hi to other pilots in my position. One day I hope as the technologies improve I can continue my flying career.

Hi Kathryn. Good to see another Type 1 flying. re: "Has anyone moved on to rotorcraft." I started flying helicopters a few years ago. Would recommend it if you are interested. Happy flying!

I usually fly out of KEMT, but quite often end up in North Las Vegas - my Grandfather initially encouraged me to fly (the 182 in the picture is his and is based in KVGT). Brian congrats on the search for a plane! I've always wanted to get into a Cub. Flyboy - I really do love to fly! Nothing compares to being up in the air.

Hi Kathryn! Great to see you're still flying! I've mostly been flying a Bonanza and a '172...with some Chap time thrown in. Looking pretty hard to pick up my own plane in the very near future...have the search narrowed down to a few, to include a Long EZ. I'm stationed here in OKC, on the FAA Aero Center, so getting the medical paperwork in is literally just a walk across the street to CAMI. What aprt of CA are you in? Fly safe!

What's everyone flying out there? I'm a Type I, 24 year old in California and fly a Cessna 182. I didn't have any trouble getting my medical - once I provided all the information. Has anyone moved on to rotocraft?
