  • Re: Desperate f-14 pilot wanna be here plz help

    I would suggest you work hard in math and science classes, and you may consider taking some computer and electronics classes.&nbsp; However, the most important thing is do what you enjoy, so if you really like art or history, there won't be too much of a problem in you taking those classes as long as you always work hard.

    Hello, I'm not sure if you're still hanging around, but as no one has given you an answer yet, I thought I'd give it a shot.. There are several options available if you desire to become a pilot.&nbsp; If you are willing to fly anything, including helicopters, then the options are ever greater; however, I'm going to assume you wish to fly a ...
