He and a lot of other people helped me on this Reddit thread, which I accidentally deleted. You can still get to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/53490a/im_making_a_smarter_every_day_video_about_flying/d7q6vx1?context=3Seriously, I really wanted to be a fighter pilot but the eye thing was a thing back then. Fortunately for you guys, if you're young and want to be a pilot.... and are willing to work hard to get the grades to do it, you can hop over to http://www.af.mil and look into being a fighter pilot even if you need corrective surgery.

Wait.....Wait.....YOU FLEW!? NICE. I thought you simply got a fly-along or something. YOU FLEW the plane. So sweet. Congrats man! Dream come true, eh?

Jeff Dzado

Oh, And I literally listened to that audio book a month or so back on a flight.

Also, you can't possibly fly a theoretical perfect circle and intersect to a straight line. The point at which the circle intersects the line has infinite change in acceleration as it goes from the circle (acceleration inwards towards the circle) to 0 acceleration (flying straight and level).

Great stuff - Question: You mentioned you 'got the surgery' from what I understand there are multiple types of laser type of surgeries, but there is a concern with lasik and g-forces? Wanting to go to Mars in my future :) - I read mixed info online, and curious if you could share more light into which surgery you received, and if you have had any concerns with g forces? Thanks!

Are your eyes closed at 5:04?

Second the long foot footage request on the second channel. I just found your ask on reddit for the animation which features the forward camera. I would love tons of footage from your flight from that angle. Congrats on getting that awesome experience. I've been looking forward to this video for awhile!
