Good point. Those documents are absolutely forgeries based on the fonts alone. The flight exams were and are called "Medicals", too... those forged documents used the incorrect term "physical examination."
Right you are! Even in civilian aviation they are called "medicals". Every private pilot carrys evidence of a current "medical".

I spent 29 years in the AF [1951-1980], and I never heard the word "Medical." We called them "Annual Physicals." Six of my years were spent as an active duty officer in AF Reserve Units, where the same exact words were used. Perhaps they might have been called Annual Flight Physicals", but I doubt that even the ANG called them "annual physical examination (flight)." That's not the way I remember any military jargon.
And, I am sure you all know that the signature element was not on the right side of the page. Civilians did it that way, but not the AF.
And nobody put a period between the letters USAF, FIS, AF, TAS, [Tactical Airlift Squadron] TAW, FW [Fighter Wing], SOS [Special Operations Squadron], SOW [Special Operations Wing], MAJCOM [Major Air Command], ad infinitum.
