Michael, I'm sorry that's a reflection from the body of my camera which is red. I did not notice it before I posted it.

Michael my eyes may be a little color deficient which kept me out of flight school when I applied for army aviation during my junior year of ROTC. However I did get my commercial and multiengine licenses on my own. 😊

Michael, my eyes may be a little color deficient which kept me out of flight school when I applied for army aviation during my junior year of
Advanced ROTC. So instead of being an Army pilot during that unpopular war I served my country as a medical officer. However I did get my commercial and multiengine licenses on my own.


I took both the Ishihara vision test and the Farnsworth lantern test.
