I got my FAA Class I Medical back yesterday after being grounded for the past year and a half.

That is a BIG freaking deal.

I've had this laid down for the past 18 months, waiting on the day I got back to flight status.

There are two others still waiting in the rack-- one will be opened after I fully requal to Captain and the other will be opened after I requal as a Line Check Pilot.

As soon as I got off the phone with my doc, I texted my wife (who was in a meeting with her boss and his boss) "CALL ME RIGHT THE F*CK NOW".

She left the meeting, left the room to call me, and got asked if something bad had happened when she went back into the meeting since she was in tears. She explained that they were tears from being so happy that I got my wings back.

She brought me a bottle of Cristal after work.

And her boss had a bottle of Moet Chandon delivered to the house that evening.

And? I'm **STILL** walking on air.
