I am 76 years old with 6 heart attacks (last one over 10 years ago, so I don't consider it a problem, but the FAA propably does -) - so I don't think I will be a Pilot in Command any time soon!
I starting flying when I was 14 years old in a Piper J3 Cub at Sally's Flying School at Palwaukee Airport, near Chicago; soloed at 16 and Private License on 17th birthday.
I was a partial owner of a Taylor Craft. I have piloted Piper Colt, Cherokee and Apache.I attended and helped out a little at the EAA fly in - when it was held in Rockford. Rejected by the Navy for eyesight and Kidneys, after that I choose Marriage over Flying, I wish I had that choice to make over again!!
That is my background.
What I am looking for is some dual time "maybe as a Student Pilot" in an Ercoupe. Just two or three hours. Looks like a fun little plane to fly on a warm sunny day with the "top" down. Nothing fancy, just the basics, some "touch and goes" and then we will see.
I was never any good with the radio (flunked the Multi because of it), and strugled with night vision.
 
It would help if you said where "near me" is...

If you haven't actually had a medical revoked or denied, you may be able to fly as PIC as a Sport Pilot. Only some Ercoupe models qualify, though.
 
I think there’s an STC to take the MTOW all the way to 1400lb, too. I suspect Ercoupes with that STC will become more popular if/when MOSAIC happens.
 
Yes. IF Mosaic goes through... I think it will, but one can never be sure.

This is what happens when you are my age, I now live in Bowling Green KY. To actually start flying again there is a force in my life more powerful than the FAA, my wife! So just a couple of hours, sort of a "bucket list" sort of thing, though I hopefully have a long time to finish it.
Thank you for the reply.
