Gosh Corri, I must either be clairvoyant (sp), or I am getting this more than I realized. I saw exactly where you were going with it. And yes, I came to the same conclusion.
CAC, while it isn't quite the same, I'm sure you know some local pilots. I think most would be glad to take you flying when they go off for their $100 hamburger runs. I know if I lost my medical, I'd be taking every opportunity to fly with someone else that I could. I've also taken pilots who can't fly themselves any more for flights.
