I think that it's totally unfair to treat him this way, after all, he's not flying an F-18 with the Blue Angels, or starting in the Daytona 500 this weekend!! As long as his doctor said its OK, that should be good enough for anyone.
I had a heart attack 10 months ago at the age of 49, I never thought it would happen to me. I'm back at work, flying model planes, driving my truck, and getting my life back. (My doctors say that it's a miracle I'm still alive.)
I guess what I'm trying to say is, just because something "might" happen, it doesn't necessarily mean that it will.
Kennyo, good luck, and you can fly with me anytime!!!
