Narrative:

We landed at palm beach, fl, to go through united states customs from nassau jul/mon/96. I did not have my pilot's license or my medical certificate with me. United states customs wrote me a notice of violation (warning). The reason I did not have my license was I had changed wallets about a month before and I had overlooked it and did not transfer it to my new one. I thought I had it but when I got home it was in the old wallet. My medical certificate was in a chart holder which my wife took out of the plane to load some luggage and we had forgot it was in there. I have both and they are current.
