Yeah. My uncle couldn't fly, because he didn't have good enough vision. You can't stop in combat to adjust your glasses.Is it true you have too have 20/20 vision to fly an aircraft for the U.S airforce?

Yes, My nephew is in military collage to fly jets and he has to have eye surgery to get him to 20/20, or he can't fly for the military.
In order to be in the airforce you must have 20/20 vision. If you don驶t the only way that you can get in is if you get lasic.
who told you that crap?





flying has nothing to do with vision, its all about the instruments (which you do have to see) but its not like your flying by looking out the window.
Defiantly yes!


I would not want the pilots going to fight to protect America have any less than perfect vision!
my brother wants to be in the airforce when he gets older and he doesnt have 20/20 vision but he wears contacts, i think you just might need to be wearing contacts or glasses
no i think you are mistaking it for that show 20/20 somethimes i watch it it has some interesting facts and other stuff
i think its 20/20 ';corrected vision'; or something like that
yes, unless u have sex with whoever is checking your eyes
Yes. 20/10 is preferrable.
doubt it.
i would say so that sounds about right
