Lead Investigator (the late) William M. Bumpus was my F.A.A. Check Airman, who signed me off as a Captain, after flying a Boeing 747-400, from Seattle, Washington, to Anchorge, Alaska.

He was a great man and, not just because he signed me off. Please read his obituary in “The Blade”, from Toledo.

Is there no statute of limitations that would make that impossible?
