				A relative sent this to me……don’t know if it’s true, but fun to try.  Can’t get beyond 18 seconds on this myself. Hopefully that’s good enough to be an RV-10 pilot.    
    
 Good luck,

   Here's an interesting test:  
    
   Think you have fine eye hand coordination--try this.    
    
   The object of the game is to move the red  block around without  
   getting hit by the blue blocks or touching the black walls.  
    
   If you can go longer than 22 seconds you are phenomenal.  
    
   Reportedly, the US Air Force uses this for fighter pilots. They are  
   expected to go for at least 2 minutes. Give it a try!

				I can assure you all that the USAF has no such requirement. However, I  actually sent this email around my fighter squadron last year. In my informal  poll it seems RV-10 builders have as much skill as F-15 pilots... at least as  far as this game goes.

				I made it to 18 seconds, Don't look at the red square look beyond it and see
 the big picture, kind of like when you're scanning the sky for traffic. When
 I was looking at the red square I couldn't get past 5 seconds.

				For your poll, I had a hard time getting to 10 seconds.  
 
 I guess that means I shouldn't do barrel rolls and loops in my spray can 
 primed, extra hole dimpled, no remote oiled, hot tunneled, homebrew 
 AHRS'd, 350HP turbo-charged RV-10.

 If you are only allowed one time...I guess I am a transport guy.  With a few 
 tries i am a fighter jock.
 What do you fly if you don't want to kill people?  Fie suppression...arial

 identify & classify airplanes. They are either fighters or targets and some 
 of the fighters are targets too. KABONG Do Not Archive.

				Took me 5 tries to get to keep my job.  All that F-16, F-117(okay that one doesn’t really count) & F/A-18 time must have paid off, of course now I’m relegated to the mighty AT-38C so maybe I can move back up in the world with my 22 seconds.  As mentioned though, at least it’s not the Eagle J !

 I can assure you all that the USAF has no such requirement. However, I actually sent this email around my fighter squadron last year. In my informal poll it seems RV-10 builders have as much skill as F-15 pilots... at least as far as this game goes.

 I made it      10.6.  Hopefully that good enough to be an RV-10      builder.

 A relative sent this to me……don’t know      if it’s true, but fun to try.  Can’t get beyond 18 seconds on this      myself. Hopefully that’s good enough to be an RV-10 pilot.            
       
 Good  luck,

   Here's an interesting      test:     
       
   Think you have fine eye      hand coordination--try this.       
       
   The object of the game is      to move the red  block around without     
   getting hit by the blue      blocks or touching the black walls.     
       
   If you can go longer than      22 seconds you are phenomenal.     
       
   Reportedly,      the US Air Force uses this for      fighter pilots. They are     
   expected      to go for at least 2 minutes. Give it a try!

				Hmm....
 
 See, there is a difference between a Commissioned Officers way of thinking and us Non-Commissioned (especially senior) types. 
 
 We read the instructions...simple enough, We start moving the cute little red box around until we get tired of it, it quits or we are instructed to stop. 
 
 I didn't realize it stopped if you hit the bars or the wall, interesting concept for pilot proficency but makes sense, hit walls, mountains etc., you stop.
 
 The reason???
 
 We do as we are instructed, (ordered is such a primal word) and failure is not an option!!!
 
 PS- When we play billiards we use a "cue". I noticed a few jocks one day running around a pool table slamming balls into the pockets with thier hands???? 
 
 My nephew does the same thing, cept he is three years old    
 
 Just a bit of fun poking all in jest..."Sirs"
