Andrewwhyte 1 #2 March 29, 2005 Y'know, sometimes I regret not trying to become a fighter pilot in my youth (usually right after watching Top Gun). Now I know I never had a chance. I am geneticly inelegible; I suffer from photic sneeze reflex. Is there a government grant or something? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #3 March 29, 2005 I don't know where they draw the line here between medical condition and something else... I mean I don't sneeze EVERY time I look at a bright light or near the sun. It's only when I feel a sneeze coming on and it's taking it's time, then I look to a bright light to help speed it up. But that is funky about the fighter pilot thing. Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast! Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool! bellyflier on the dz.com hybrid record jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beerlight 0 #4 March 29, 2005 That's incorrect about not being able to become a fighter pilot with this particular trait. It's not even a consideration during flight screening physicals.... sorry....urban myth time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #5 March 29, 2005 Do you have light-colored eyes? I heard people with light-colored eyes are more prone to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
