| Hi guys, just out of curiosity, what are the chances of a man with sensitive and constant runny nose being a fighter pilot? would that be a hazard to the man's health while he performs extreme maneuvres? |

Sorry. I would think chronic sinus problems would be a disqualifier. It used to be and I still think it is a disqualifier.
Chronic sinus problems can affect your inner ear, hearing and in some cases your vision. You’re particularly at risk to these problems with the changes of air pressure associated with the altitude changes. You’re more likely to rupture and eardrum and/or to have vertigo. You are more susceptible to spatial disorientation. Etc… |

| As long as you can clear your ears (valsalva) you'd be just fine. I've know guys with runny noses that fly. |
