@heartstring The only way to get astronaut stauts without actually trying. Believe me, test pilots are some of the most respected guys in the Air Force, because we all know that at some point, they might die, and it won't be their choice. Well, after breaking my ankle in BT, I had to have surgery on it (I basically have a metal ankle now) and I was still able to complete BT and continue on. So, I doubt they would have a problem with eye surgery... But i'll ask somebody about it, just to be sure.
-
@heartstring Even if you have bad eye sight, the Air Force still has planes that you can fly (Though flying a combat fighter is considerably harder to achieve with eye sight problems)
-
@heartstring At some point in your life you need to fly a jet, whether it be by yourself or with an instructor... It's one of those bucket list things. And I know this is expected, but i've done this for so long now, i'm use to it... still exciting though

@heartstring sweet

@heartstring @abigpony I have recording equipment /troll

@heartstring Well, imagine you're in a passenger plane, except of being in the back, you're the pilot, and you're traveling 3 times as fast. Really, the air around you disappears, and it's just you vs. gravity. Funny story, for one of our training missions, we had to act as if our missile guidance was out, so that meant we had to dive bomb our target. Going 500 mph, releasing a bomb about 600-400 feet, and then yanking the joystick back so hard that you immediatly lose feeling in your feet. It's quite a feeling... That you can't really describe, because you can't fell it! xD... And as for your speed question. Twice, actually. Once at Barksdale with an F-16, and the other at White Sands Missile range with a F-14
-
@heartstring that's a good idea actually.

@heartstring G'night!

@heartstring The capabilities of the T-38? It was developed as a "Small fighter" for the Air Force, but due to aerodynamics and such, it was replaced by the F-5. After the F-5 came out, the Air Force adopted the T-38 mainly as a trainer for fighters (Though, out west there is one or two squadrons that still use the T-38 as a fighter, but those were replaced by the F-16 after the Thunderbirds "Diamond Crash") The seat depends on what we're doing that day. If it's normal flying, then it's the front seat... Weapons run, rear. I've flown both Props and Jets... The Jets, of course, win by a longshot.
-
@heartstring As being a pilot in training, we almost all the time go up with an instructor... So if he says it's ok, we go. And most likely, you're probably right. Dang it Fluttershy, GET RID OF THEM!!
-
@heartstring Really, though, I didn't even know that game had an end condition.
-
@heartstring Of course... if by "finished" you mean "stopped playing" :D
-
@heartstring Ahh, okay. But $25 isn't cheap at all! You can get a custom design printed from Spreadshirt for like, $15.
-
@heartstring I uh... don't know any of those designs. Where are you getting your shirts?
-
@heartstring What ones? (That dash was hard to read!)
-
@heartstring Aww. :( I'm sure you'll keep in touch and still see each other sometimes. :)
-
@heartstring Yeah. It's really something. I can't stop think about it.
-
@heartstring indeed. i hope one day i can get my voice a deep and gravely as Christian Bale's
-
@heartstring Yay~! Bronies are always helpin' out. Have fun!
-
@heartstring :D Have lots of fun!
-
@heartstring Nice, I hope you enjoy them, I like those movies a lot myself! Movies with friends is one of the best things :)
-
@heartstring yay! What are you going to see?
-
@heartstring do it.
-
@heartstring Good night.
-
@heartstring Good night!
-
@heartstring Goodnight heartstring!
-
@heartstring Well, I'm still kind of easing the door open. I found a way to show my mom and sister some PMVs, and they laughed like crazy, so now I just need to find a way to make the jump to full episodes without pushing it.
-
@heartstring It's some of my friends and more distant relatives that are more conservative. My family's pretty open, but they still think I'm a bit odd. They don't know the half of it, but they're right, and I'm ok with it. Normal is overrated.
-
@heartstring I can't do that, yet. I live at home (till the 24th) and have to keep it low key due to my parents. I'm over the pink, but I've got to brush it into a drawer when everyone's home, and always have to have some excuse to borrow the family car rather then "shopping for ponies, back eventually", thanks to no one else in the family getting it, and some friends/relatives being highly conservative. As soon as I reach campus, that's all changing. I've already got a list of pony shirts I'm ordering.
-
@heartstring I started that way. Now I'm using the call button on the end of the isle to make the clerks run item numbers for me, and I don't feel sad about it in the least.
