Yep, sorry too old, the age limit is 25 I believe. The waiver is not just for fighter pilots, but ALL people going into pilot training. All people are lumped together at the begining. It is what you do at UPT that determines if you will be a fighter pilot, not neccesarily your eyesight. CHAz -- Charles L.

It has more to do with insurance than with safety. It kept me out of the profession for many years. I finally gave up and went into computers (probably a better move in terms of regular hours for a family man). But I still wish I were on the right side of a locomotive cab ... -- Bruce Tiffany btiffany@pbs.org

From: tonyd@ashtate.a-t.com (Tony de la Lama) Current requirements for flight training in the USAF include a maximum age of 27 1/2 upon entering UPT. BTW, Dean Martin Jr. received a waiver of this requirement and entered flight training in the Reserves at the age of 28. Does anyone know the age requirements during WWII?
