Great thread, Sam!

I'm sure this is obvious to all who know anything about aviation, and I don't -- I'm always fascinated by the role of eyesight in successful pilots. A friend of Yeager once told me that even at age he's kept his better than perfect eyesight. Like a sniper, he can see things we mortals cannot.

I suppose it's a combination of supreme visyual capacity of the eyes and brain and nerve-power to process and coordinate it. Is eyesight as important to pilots in today's electronic world?
