is that pilot wearing glasses? I always wanted to be a pilot but couldn't because i didn't have 20/20 vision...

only a man with crap eyesight would spot that. I agree. i wanted to be a pilot but couldn't see either.

When I was a teenager
My uncle told me I couldn't be a pilot because my acne was so bad that the mask wouldn't form seal and I would die.
/cries.

but don't quote me on this....that combat/fighter jet pilots are the ones who need perfect vision

Not true
Tom Cruise is the top gun ever, and he's a blind in one eye

It's entirely possible
that he developed a slight defect in his vision some years into his flying career with the USAF. If so, the choice becomes either kicking him onto the street, throwing away a million or so dollars of investment in training or letting him wear glasses in the cockpit. He never wears them on the ground and takes them straight off again after landing.
Me? I'm colourblind. The CAA won't let me fly at night because I can't tell what colour the lights are.

Why didn't they take Clarkson up there,
and then throw him out?
