T-28 Heart Transplant Pilot Gets Back In The Air 

Yess!!

Martin Pauly our A36’s are nice too :)

This sure was a motivational story. If he can do it, Bobby can do it!

There's a whole lot of them for sale. Under 200k for them all, some assembly required but all the spares you would ever need. Listed on platinum fighter sales

KutWrite contact AOPA and see what they can do for you.

@@DenisSuljevic: OK... I'm listening to one of their lectures on this subject. I noticed they've helped some people, too. Thanks.

I laughed at the end of the vlog when I heard Rodney say "Well I read the book last night " just as ya's were pulling up in front of the hanger ,

Umm..Noo.....Also depends on the plane.....If you lose that big "fan" up front, if it aint a glider, chances are, you need to unstrap it, bend over and kiss it.....At least you wont see the impact.....Even a Cessna 150 dont have that much of a "Glide path"..Best you can do is try to "land" uprite and not inverted...Thats why while you are flying, in addition to enjoying the fab scenery, you are constantly watching for an emergency landing spot .....

@@ToyManFlyer1100 So you will not make it back on the Glide slope. What is your typical 1 to 2 mi out altitude and what would it have to be in order for you to make it? Why is that not considered in your Landing?

@@sanfranciscobay ....The maximum L/D ratio (L/Dmax) of a Cessna 172 is about 9, so its glide ratio is about 9:1 - for every 9 units traveled forward it will lose 1 unit of altitude. So, it will glide about 9,000 feet for every 1,000 feet of altitude available.....This is for a Cessna 172....... Soo, I would estimate, based on this....I would be on final at say 1000 ft..Otherwise, you gonna have a "hard landing"........Also, since you dont have engine power...you have no forced air going over the wings, and you have to take into account your "head wind speed"....Once again, most GA planes have a "glide ratio" of poo poo.....They dont glide.....If that was so, why do ev'ry Cessna you see on the news is to' all the hell.....Its a trainer, shouldve been able to set it down in a pasture , no probs... As you well know, this is why you do "stall checks".....in the air...Soo you know what kinda speed and time you have if your "big fan" up front quits working..... I pretty sure some mathematical genious could come on here and give you a formula....But based on the students I see....Their finals in C-150's are at about 1000...and thats w/ full flaps....

You’re dealing with the federal government and it had never been done before. There was no procedure for it.

I’m a type 1 diabetic in relatively good health. I’m afraid to go for my class 3 medical because the requirements to get a special issuance is very invasive and they may still deny. Once denied for a medical you can’t use your drivers license to fly sport pilot. Only problem is, I want to fly at night and IFR and I want to fly bigger planes and carry more than 1 passenger. -- :(

Jeremiah Hughes I was a type 1 for thirty years till my kidney pancreas transplant 28 years ago. As far as I’m concerned as harsh as it may sound I don’t think diabetics should be allowed to be pilots.

Bill Van Raam yea it does sound harsh but the reality is that the FAA does have a path for a diabetic to become a pilot. But only the best of the best get the privilege...

Jeremiah Hughes I known and have known to many diabetics including my self that have had their blood sugars drop dangerously low with out indication. I had a situation one day where I was helped by a stranger who recognized I was having (because of his brother was a diabetic) severe low. I was saved by his actions to get sugar in to me, the last thing I remember was sitting on a bench before I came around in back of a store him getting me to finish a coke. I guess since the pump is bing used it has greatly reduced the chance of bottoming out. Best wishes, stay healthy and I hope you get your wings someday.

Sure thing....
