Another thread creep here, but I find it ridiculous after all the info FAA was given/told about Mr Weaver (and his twin VFR only restriction on his FAA pilot certificate, due vision IIRC), he has deliberately and unashamedly tricked and robbed pilots/owners, even provided some training not having required privileges.
Medical section of FAA is happy to ground someone on some discrepancy in medical, yet Oklahoma don't pull the ticket of Mr Weaver. Even if just on the mental health issues and disregarding all the criminal intent and using FAA pilot licence for it. I guess Weaver would just keep the plastic bits even if FAA revoked and cancelled his licence, but I would consider it prudent if anything.

Back to topic, I saw the teaser for this:
Worst Place to be a Pilot (Ch4 UK)
when I was donating blood. Cool aircraft, challenging environment. RIP Tomas.
