I have mixed feelings about this, especially in light of my medical being up as of last week. I am sure it won't be a problem but it gets me thinking.

On one hand, I see people driving cars and think, holy crap, can they see the road? My grandfather drove until he was 80...he should have stopped at 70. He was a menace. It wasn't until he side-swiped 6 cars in a row that he stopped...took him 6 before realizing he was swiping them. My fathers eyesight is horrible and he should be tested. Over time, when we get old, we tend to think we are still ok, when we are not ("How many levels of thickness have you gone thru?", "Oh 3 or 4", "I think you need new glasses.", "Oh these are just fine").

On the flip side, pilots typically hold themselves to a higher standard. Given the LSA option, I am not too concerned about the medical. But perhaps a less stringent standard?
