YES YES YES Individuals interested in career opportunities as Air Force officers should contact an Air Force recruiter. They will be required to take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test, which tests math, verbal and analytical aptitude. The quickest - and some would say easiest - method to obtain an officer's commission is through OTS. The disadvantage is that the candidate has already paid for his or her own college education. ROTC provides the advantage of offering attractive college scholarships. The Air Force Academy is for candidates who want to immerse themselves in the military lifestyle and the prestige of a service academy.rce recruiter.

No. Having experience as a pilot would be a good thing but the Air Forces of the world train their pilots themselves because their planes are so specialised.
A pilot is responsible for flying planes and keeping passengers safe. They may fly commercial passenger planes or cargo planes.
It depends you can start training at the age of 18, but most controllers start in their 20's. While not required, an associates degree in aviation related fields helps. Controllers hired today are required to retire before their 56th birthday.

ANS 2 - George Bush Sr. had a pilot's license. In fact he was a decorated Navy pilot in WW2 who flew 58 missions.
Because being a cub pilot requires a lot of learning (and accumulating experience) that can be facilitated with the help of someone with more experience
Becoming airborne before reaching recommended takeoff speed.
Not intentionally. They use a map book with notes of previous trips and water depth. The map book and notes are a pilot's prized possession and take years to fill out. Many of the pilots on the waterways can draw the whole river they operate with every turn and marker from memory. Its Skill and practice more than trig.
Not sure - but you can count me in amongst them. I've held a Private Pilots Licence for over 25 years.
No, John Travolta is NOT licensed to pilot a Boeing 727! He is a private pilot and do have a rating to fly as a SIC (second in command), co-pilot or First Officer (different names on the same thing!) on his Boeing 707! The rating as a SIC in a 707 gives him the privileges to act as the same in the much rarer Boeing 720 but NOT in a 727!
There are many actors, politicians, CEOs, billionaires and millionaires with their very own private airplane. Some notable personalities with their own private plane are Steven Spielberg, Oprah Winfrey, Harrison Ford, John Travolta, Mark Cuban, Rupert Murdoch, and Tom Cruise.
I'm not sure about that, but I found a picture of the Nigerian Regiment in world war 1.

There were two planes which dropped the weapons. The Enola Gay is a Boeing B-29 Superfortress bomber, named for Enola Gay Tibbets, the mother of the pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets, who selected the aircraft while it was still on the assembly line. On 6 August 1945, during the final stages of World War II, it became the first aircraft to drop an atomic bomb. The bomb, code-named "Little Boy", was targeted at the city ofHiroshima, Japan, and caused unprecedented destruction. And the Bockscar, sometimes called Bock's Car, is the name of the United States Army Air Forces B-29 bomber that dropped a Fat Man nuclear weapon over the Japanese city of Nagasaki during World War II in the second - and last - nuclear attack in history.
There is a book that you might be able to find in your local library or get on loan from another larger library. It's titled The Divine Wind. The book was writen by two Japanese officers who commanded air bases where Kamikaze fliers were stationed. It should answer all your questions. Library of Congress Number ISBN 0-553-12578-8
Kamikazes were Japanese pilots who were on suicide missions. They were insructed to run their planes into ships or bases in hope to kill. The Kamikaze pilots were trained in wooden crates as there were not enough planes to train them in. Also, the Kamikaze's only needed to be in the air long enough to find a target.
More intriguing is: Why did Kamakize pilots wear helmets?
Over 40,000 men flew helicopters during the Viet War. That's all services, but only counts the United States. That doesn't count the enemy (they had them, they sunk US Navy Swift Boat #19 (PCF-19) with one), doesn't count the allies (Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, South Vietnam, etc.); and it doesn't count the helicopter crewmen (door gunners, etc.). Contact the Vietnam War Helicopter Associations, they might be able to help...but they might only have what most associations have; lists of the dead, wounded, or decorated.

I the U.S.A. the FAA says that a pilot needs vision to be CORRECTABLE to 2020. As long as you can see 2020 your good. Ask your flight instructor first.
