While working with HIMS AME for medical issues, remember options for some activities remain available.
Consider a discovery flight, lesson(s) with a flight instructor, study for knowledge test, checking sport pilot certificate, etc.
If aviation is described as a huge passion, not having a medical (or, not yet) isn’t an obstacle to begin, to see first-hand whether flying (in training environment) matches expectations.
Also might consider joining an aviation community; or setup a PoA forum profile. Many have and will offer encouragement.
Hey Mike, thanks for your time!
I’m about 90% of the way through ground school, I should be ready to schedule the knowledge test by the beginning of next week or so.
I was actually lucky enough to get a ride on a G200 last weekend, through a series of crazy events. I was helping my sister buy a car and the guy I was buying it from so happened to be a pilot. We got to talking and my enthusiasm about the subject excited him, maybe he saw a bit of himself 20 years ago in me. I ended up buying the car from him and he promised me a couple hours of dual time and a ride in in the jump seat of the gulf-stream. At that point I told my sister we were buying the car, I didn’t care if it blew up in the driveway! Haha.
To your point, I’ve been doing everything I can do, and I’m going to continue working hard on this dream.
