[Leica] IMG: Beech King Air 350 Detailed Image - Chris T.

[Jim Nichols]

Thanks, Herb.  I'm not sure anyone has paper charts any more. Everyone 
seems to use electronic charts  and GPS routing.  The current Palo Alto 
Ground Control frequency is 125.0 (0700-2100).

My experience is similar to yours.  Endocarditis in 1993 resulted in the 
installation of 2 mechanical heart valves.  FAA said I could apply, but 
they had never approved 2 devices.  Apparently one would have given me 
some hope.  Because the valves required me to be on Coumadin forever, an 
accident with resulting cuts could have had dangerous results.  I just 
gave it up, but still have full access to the local airport, because I 
flew there for 35 years.  I used to exercise by walking the 
out-of-the-way taxiways.  Now, I just walk the long ramp.  I find 
friends to talk with, and occasional photo opportunities.

> I’m admirer of all of your “airport” shots. I don’t do this in Palo Alto for two reasons: 1. Security. It’s hard to get access unless you know the ground control frequency, which is also a lock combination! I’ve not been flying for so many years that I no longer have recent charts or friends who fly, so I just don’t know that number. 2. After logging over 1100 hours, I quit because I had to start using insulin and the FAA had given me enough hard times on my medical prior to that. I’m afraid that airport visits would just be too painful.
