Is there anyone here who is studying to become a pilot? Because it's the career I hope to go into (commercial flights are my aim).

I'm terrified of heights..

I got in an airplane to go to colorado when I was just a kid, I freaking out, was scream, and raised hell the whole way there and back.

I would love to be a pilot but i always wanted to be a fighter pilot but i'm not tall enough. I might just get my private license when i can afford it one day.

As much as I'd love to, I'm not.

Sasha is a pilot though

Is there actually a height requirement to become a fighter pilot?

I would have liked to become a fighter pilot but I'm too tall so.. screw that idea.. I think there is both a minimum and a maximum height but it depends a bit in which country you live.

My brother was considering it for a few years but he ended up not, dont know why, its really hard to become a pilot, theres so many restrictions and things and you have to have absolutely perfect vision.

No you can have vision that can be corrected with glasses/contacts/laser eye surgery.

Yupp, minimum and maximum, i think you have to be like min. 166cm or it might have been 162? It's taller than me anyway.

I can't

I haven't got 20-20 vision.

To become a pilot (not a fighter pilot) you can still have glasses/contacts that give you 20/20. Or vision that is correctable via laser eye surgery.
