Same here. Reds, oranges, and purples really popped out for a few weeks.

Ha, that’s nothing. Just wait… As mentioned above, try to find an optometrist who is a pilot. Next best is find a former military optometrist, because they will have probably dealt with aging pilot vision. At a minimum, tell your optometrist you are a pilot and want to read printed material...

How does this happen? During my time the USAF went from simple weigh-in and 1.5 mile run/walk to the bike test and BMI measurement to measure/enforce fitness. I've been gone over 20 yrs. What do you do now?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will investigate archival paper and re-consider cloud-based solutions for both the text and audio. I see now a few points in my original post were unclear: - Not trying to make this last in perpetuity; 100-200 years would suffice. I agree that descendants...

TL;DR: I have an oral biography my mother made. It is currently on six CDs. What is the best way to "future proof" it so it survives advances in technology and is easily retrievable decades and centuries from now? Long version: I've reached that stage in life where it is time to begin to...

Did they use the life vest under the seat?
