Flight Physical

[kmac]

The Cag-9 guys are lovin' that handy bit of info, I'm sure..."Hey, Spig...guess what"

Goober, that's why I have to bribe Spig with tonic water. I guess my vision is not that bad!

The best are the guys at TBS who already have air contracts and have passed multiple flight physicals still get themselves worked up about whether or not they will pass the next one. Everyone seems to have this paranoia no matter where in the process they are.

How frequently in one required to retake a flight physical?

 

[Goober]

Annually, or lose your flight pay. Short version for four years with every fifth year a "long form" version w/ EKG, blood work, etc.

Also, any tooth with evidence of valmorphorization or decalcification is disqualifying for aviation in general. As for dentures, they can be disqualifying for tactical aircraft as they destabilize the OBOGS system...basically all the worst parts of the Bible.

They had a show about valmorphorization on Discovery science channel. That was crazy! I had no idea things can change their shape like that. It was amazing, they mentioned about valmophorizing cars and deep in the future they say plastic surgery will be completely replaced by valmorphorization.
