Does anyone else find the Be-A-Pilot commercial annoying? The guy in the
commercial seems to be more interested in showing us his phony white

The fool keeps his upper lip up through the entire commercial so that his
teeth show the entire time.

Just my two cents worth...

Must say I haven't seen that one.

The commercials that annoy me are the ones the Air Force is putting out...
you know, the "We've been waiting for you" ones. Sure, you fly remote
control airplanes as a kid, so the Air Force is going to hand you a
mutlimillion [billion?] dollar R/C plane to control? Yeah, right.

What I want to know is why the History channel showed an F-15 pilot
wearing standard civilian sunglasses in the airplane during flight, yet
people who require corrective lenses can't fly the plane. At least, this
is what the recruiters have told me. Piloting a fighter jet - of any sort
- has been my dream since my preteen years. I know there are many, many
more requirements than mere visual acuity, of course, but I feel cheated
that they won't allow prescription glasses in the cockpit but they'll
allow other glasses in. That was the main reason the recruiter gave me
was that glasses couldn't be worn, so acuity had to be nearly perfect.
Has this changed any?
