Mobius1_MWI Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) LASIK is acceptable for the US Air Force and Air National Guard also, as long as you meet the pre-op requirements (less than -8.00 diopters correction and no huge astigmatism or anything crazy like that). LASIK can mess with your night vision (lowered contrast sensitivity and glare/halos around lights), but current technologies in the surgery have nearly eliminated that. I had wavefront-guided blade-less LASIK and have had absolutely no issues in the last 2 years since I got it and I'm down to better than 20/15 vision in both eyes, near and far, night and day. AND ALSO - never tell yourself you wouldn't pass the physical or something like that and have that keep you from at least trying. If anyone is going to tell you "no", make sure it's after you've tried eight or ten times and been told "no" by 20 or 30 official looking people. :smilewink: At least that way you know you tried...

Jinro Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Still, we have an awesome sim-some guys out there don't have a PC and only books or less (e.g. Falcon 4 lol) to help them make due. I actually tried Falcon 4.....and was extremely disappointed by the "realism". The flight model is laughable.
walker450 Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I know how ya feel... My old best friend from grade school is now in the USAF. The last time I talked to him he was flying the Texan II turboprop trainer. Not sure what he's in now... Just got a message from him: He is flying jets now and be said if all goes well, he will be flying A-10s by July!!!!!!!!! Speedpad for Inputs | My Simpit | Joystick Damper Mod

airea Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Guys, stop getting dissappointed... Most of you are old to become a fighter pilot, you can do nothing about it... But if you really like flying, try PPL courses or as said before start something like paragliding or hanggliding etc... This way, you can satisfy your flight addiction (if you are really addicted to it)... But stop complaining or pitying yourself...
