It may have been in another article as the Dayton paper/WHIO has a crappy website and their updates leave a lot to be desired.
The medical certificate (according to the article) is supposed to be updated yearly and I believe his was 2011?
Medical Certificate mentioned in this article.
A short part of the article below:
Pilots must hold valid medical certificates in order to fly. The Airline Transport Pilot certificate, which Halye held, requires a first-class medical certificate, which must be updated every 12 months for a pilot under the age of 40. Halye was 36.
The FAA database lists Halye’s medical certificate date as September, 2011, which would mean the certificate expired more than four years ago. Asked to double check, Cory said Halye’s certificate was up-to-date, with it due to expire this fall.
