No longer. His license was revoked because of health reasons. He
appealed, and eventually got it back, but, by that time, the damage had
been done--couldn't get insurance--he is, after all, now 86. The Shrike
Aero Commander he flew in air shows is now at the Smithsonian Air and
Space Museum:

Last time I saw him fly was 1993.
Cheers.
