Sure, but would you be able to go take an airplane right now (say you had access to one). Would you be able to fly from point A to point B? You see my point.
Tell me where and I probably could, My only problem is navigating, but like I said give me directions and I can do it. Flying is easy, its regulations and rules that strike me as the harder part because I have no knowledge about them. My grandfather owns an air field somewhere up in Ohio, I don't recall off hand but he has a hanger where he used to repair planes, but at his age he's no longer up there often so it makes visiting hard when he travels everywhere.

im not missing ur point. to become a pilot you have to have x amount of hours and x amount of class time. so i'll say no to ur silly question

That's to get a pilot certificate from the FAA. Please explain how is it illegal to fly over the Atlantic without have official documentation that your a pilot.

Seaplanes, islands, or icebergs. Or you can have someone fly you over there and give you the controls.

I understand that, being a pilot is something I would love to do, but being constrained to glasses really makes it difficult to do much, air force isn't a real option I just refuse to get he surgery, and money is hard to come by these days so there's really no point in trying right now though I certainly would If I could.

I take it your talking about USAF. If that's right USAF lets you fly their planes as long as your vision is correctable to 20/20, you can fly with corrective lances.

The point is if you are capable. You need to be able to operate a plane and navigate.

You mean I could fly with contacts? I thought you couldn't cause G's could remove them from your eyes? Or are we under the impression I wan to fly bombers?

I honestly don't know about contacts, but you can fly with glasses.

David (tupac) isnt in the airforce. You dont need to join the military to get a pl. Do what I did to get free flight time I used to hang out Bayport aerodrome and help clean up and mow grass whatever i could do for guys with extra seats  to let me in. Trust me if u show any kind of honest interest most of those guys would love to take you along

I don't have a pilots license but I've had a lot of stick time almost all for free or for some kind of menial labor

I figured the military would be a start for aviation, but getting my pl is something I've always dreamed of since I can remember. I don't live in NYC so that would be a problem there but there is a air port about 20 minutes from my house used for small bush planes, I've never seen any jet air craft there. Free stick time would be awesome, I know I can do it, just gotta find a chance or excuse.

I honestly don't know about contacts, but you can fly with glasses.
If so then that changes my perspective on the Navy, I would really want to be a pilot for the Navy.

Trust me, if you don't fly those jets you want to be flying as far away from NYC as possible.  ;)

I don't know about Navy's regulations, but in the Air Force your vision should not stop you.

To enter flight training, a candidate must pass a Flight Class I Flying Physical. To become a pilot, that means the candidates vision can be no worse than 20/70 (correctable with glasses to 20/20) in each eye. To enter Navigator Training, the candidate can have vision no worse than 20/200 in each eye (also must be correctable to 20/20).

After flight school, the standards relax a little. Pilots and Navigators who have already graduated flight training, can remain fliers as long as their vision doesn't deteriorate beyond 20/400 in each eye (correctable to 20/20).

Normal depth perception and color vision is required.
contradicting myself I found out that navy needs 20/40 with surgery.
