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. Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA On 6/16/2015 7:25 PM, Herbert Kanner wrote: > I?m admirer of all of your ?airport? shots.
