This email from TPA President Terence Jarog reflects the admiration and appreciation that USPA has for Dr. Stokes, and therefore is being passed on to our USPA email list:
Members,
As you may have read in America’s Flyways, long time member and both TPA & USPA supporter Dr. M. Young Stokes, was the recipient of awards and life member status in our organization. Dr. Stokes’ association with Aviation and Medicine are many and listed below. I advise all members to take advantage of Dr. Stokes extensive aviation medical knowledge when it come time for your next physical and especially if you think your health or your medical certificate need special attention. Dr. Stokes can add a personal perspective to your aviation medical concerns.
We all need to support Dr. Stokes with the same dedication that he has supported both realms of his expertise.

From Dr. Stokes: I still have my Aztec, but cannot fly it unless I have another qualified pilot. Surprisingly, IF someone is qualified in the Aztec, I can give him advanced or instrument instruction AS LONG AS I DO NOT CHARGE FOR IT. Most of the time, my plane is on lease back and used for training students from SEOSU in Durant, OK. They have a good Aviation Degree program, but do not have access to a multiengine aircraft. This is better than just letting my plane sit there rusting.

Aviation History
First airplane ride was at age 3 years in a Ford Tri Motor with my father at the controls. He, MYS, Jr. had been a World War I pilot taking his flight training in France. As a child, MYS3 built model airplanes and was always interested in aviation. Started flying lessons at age 15 at Mustang Field (now a shopping center) in Dallas, Texas. Private License at age 16 was a three fold with photo in the center. License was for 0 to 550 HP, with no mention as to Single or Multi Engine, Land or Sea. As a teenager, still too young to enter Army Air Corps (there was no Air Force back then), joined Civil Air Patrol and flew Submarine Patrol over the Gulf of Mexico out of Beaumont, Texas. By the time old enough to join the military in WW II, Pilot in Command time was approximately 1000 hours. The military said vision was not good enough for aviation, so joined ground forces. At the end of WW II while stationed in Seoul, Korea (before anyone had heard of Korea), small amount of time flying old gliders off the bridge over the Han River. After Military Service, flying was resumed. Flying was even more pursued after graduating from Medical School. License and Ratings include Private, Commercial, Certified Flight Instructor, Certified Flighty Instructor Instrument, Airline Transport Single and Multi-engine Land and ATP Single Engine Sea. FAA Accident Prevention Counselor, FAA Senior Aviation Medical Examiner.
