I appreciate the offer but think I'd rather use the excuse to make a trip down your way. Would you care to elaborate as to why you HAVE a Geiger Counter??I have a Gieger counter I'll loan you if you pay the freight and return it to me.

I gently dissagree George! Any terrorist could easily duplicate the old paper certificate. These nice new ones would be much more difficult to forge. You are probably upset because the new ones don't have any red on them. Or, maybe you haven't changed that climbing thru molasses prop of yours yet. It's nice to have a license that better represents the effort and cost it takes to achieve it, vs something that is even less in appearance than a drivers license.gahorn wrote:New and replacement FAA certificates always have the latest "issue" date printed on them. That later date is what goes on record as cancelling the earlier certificate. It has nothing to do with when you originally earned your license and it makes more sense when you consider that.
What really gripes me is the waste of money the new certificates represent. If you recall, a suggestion that was make several years ago was for the FAA to issue new certificates that would include photo's of the holder and also magnetic strips and/or IBM bar-code strips on the reverse so the certificates could be used for universal airport security badges. But the FAA said that would cost too much and that only paper certificates were affordable as certificate material.
So now we have nice, new, expensive, plastic certificates that do absolutely nothing the cheaper paper certificates could and did do.
