Can you still wear glasses in the Us airforce flying either f22 f35 f27?
No, you cannot wear any type of corrective lenses flying fighter aircraft in the Air Force. You need to have 20/20 vision, and last I heard, they weren't accepting laser surgery yet for fighter pilots. However, if you want to qualify for flying transport aircraft in the Air Force, such as C-17s or C-130s, your eyes must be correctable to 20/20 with glasses or contacts. Any color blindness or other eye problems could easily disqualify you for flying any type of aircraft.
