Early Christmas

To my surprise, I received an unexpected letter from the FAA in Tuesday's mail. I nervously opened the envelope and was surprised to read:

Our review of your medical records has established that you are eligible for a second-class medical certificate ... Your Authorization for Special Issuance is no longer necessary ...

It may sound odd, but having a 2nd class medical without any restrictions makes me feel like a real pilot again. Best Christmas present I've received in long time.
