I have perfect eyesight. I'm pretty short. I love jets.

I'm applying for the fleet air arm as soon as I can get my bank manager to sort his life out

Anyways, when I was in my mom's womb, I would kick whenever we went on a plane, then, in the later years, I went on an open-cockpit biplnae almost every birthday for about birthday for about 4 years, flew my first plane at around 11, then started training for my liscence at 13., so I have a head start

, I'm a medium height, in good physical condition (just don't have a high endurance, but it's acceptable)

endurance can always be increased!

It sounds like you were born to fly!

20/20 is perfect vision.. so higher = better...

phreak · **Reply #45 on:** June 05, 2003, 02:30:19 pm

it goes:

distance at which you can see something / distance at which a good eye can see something

usually measured in feet

i'm something like 20/15

edit:
Gloriano: did you fly the F-15J?

Hey, something's been bugging me for awhile now: does the US Navy/Air Force not allow nose art anymore?

I'm just curious, as I never see any....

Thorn · **Reply #47 on:** June 05, 2003, 03:16:32 pm

Ever see pictures of the A-10?
I think its more tail art now though... some of those squadron logos are pretty spiffy...

Nico · **Reply #48 on:** June 05, 2003, 03:18:30 pm

never seen one of those Tiger arts contests?

Unknown Target · **Reply #49 on:** June 05, 2003, 03:37:21 pm

No, I mean personal art on a plane that's still on active duty, not squadron art.

My brother was joining the RAF, he went through all the physicals and exams and stuff, passed them all but when it came to the "your in just sign here" bit he decided to drop it and do it again after he had "lived his life"

So he went ski repping in italy for 4 months, then went around the world for 6, came home went back to italy to ski for anouther 3, now hes living in tokyo teaching english, come home arouund christmas, but then leaves again to move out to italy to manage a resort ...

As you can tell i havnt seen much of my brother lately

And now for the brits around here, any one remeber "Harrys Mad" a childrens program on ITV some years ago about a talking parrot, the main character (Harry) was played by my brotherm hes done some other actingas well, along with a dany davito(sp?) film, dont remember the name, Yes he is loaded the little *****

I was going to join the RAF to be a pilot, aircraft being one of my favourite things. But something fubared my eyesight, so im slightly shortsighted. Which means im either going to join the Royal Armoured Corps, or the police.

Sheepy · **Reply #52 on:** June 05, 2003, 04:41:16 pm

That something would be your parents at birth right?

Zeronet · **Reply #53 on:** June 05, 2003, 04:47:07 pm

Nope, it could be the computer moniter.

Sheepy · **Reply #54 on:** June 05, 2003, 04:49:24 pm

i doubt it, i was short sighted from birth, and using comps hasnt made it worse,

its slowely getting better

Zeronet · **Reply #55 on:** June 05, 2003, 04:59:34 pm

I only got shortsighted in Y9 slightly.

Sheepy · **Reply #56 on:** June 05, 2003, 05:01:55 pm

True, the slightest thing wrong with you and the RAF is a no no, then again they have that many applicant they can afford tobe picky

The almost dropped my brother cause he has mild hay fever (next to nothing now mind), i was just like, "yeah 'cause there is lots of flowers in your cock-pit"

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #57 on:** June 05, 2003, 05:11:03 pm

I've never had an eye test, so I don't know how good my eyesight actually is, but I assume it to be very good. I just have the problems with bright lights, and terrible hayfever/rhinitis, which means a lot the time my eyes are completely ****ed up.
Damned sinus!

I did it in 8:30, but I walked a lap (it was spaced out over several)

Well of course it depends on a lot of things (weather, allergies, sleep) but the best I've been able to do is 7 flat, which isn't too fast considering. I don't get a lot of practice though, so i've probably gotten worse since the 3 months ago I go that.

Sure. When I'm in my Roadmaster and I floor that sucka, baby flies.

Just like a cow.
