She is definately in good hands.I just wanted to say, I too had a heart attack and a quad bypss! I got my private after that. I bought a 172 while taking lessons and still fly it today. I have a special issuance medical,good for one year. I had to jump through hoops, ekg & stress test, but I did it. I am now 62. I got my ticket at the age of 59. If you want it bad enough, it can be done! Never say Never!
