re: Views from the flight deck - some cool pics

Kind of off topic but with pilots in this thread I thought I would ask. I've heard the FAA is looking at changing/loosening the weight requirements for GA that would make your typical cessna 152/172 considered light sport aircraft. I've always wanted to fly recreational but can't because I can't get a class 3 medical certificate for a PPL and there are zero flight schools around here (Baton Rouge) that have a light sport aircraft to train in or rent if I were to get my sports pilots license. If they made a 152/172 a LSA that would obviously change things for me and others who can't get a class 3 medical.

Have any of ya'll heard anything about the FAA going this route?
