Sorry if the following bugs anybuddy, but:

Al;ex, you will not enlist in the airforce until after you have your bachelor's degree. You are NOT enlisted. Period.

With good enuff greades perhaps you could goto college at Colorado Springs...

My two cents...

A possibility for right now is the Civil Air Patrol (C.A.P.) if you think you are interested in the Air Force. The small group I was involved with gave us a few plane rides and an indoctrination of what life might be like in the military. All things considered it was an eye opening experience and we had a pretty good time and acquired a hands on education about the fundamentals of aviation. I'm not waving any flags here, I just remember it as one of the activities I enjoyed when I was about your age. An air force recruiter would probably have information about a group nearest where you live. No, I never did join the air force!

Some day I will build the Guillows Space shuttle, looks like a fun build and it would make a nice display. I have built the Estes Space Shuttle rockets and they are fun builds and fly great.

How do you fly them? R/C jet engine?

I use Estes Engines. These are kits from the 80's that Estes no longer makes, I bought them on Ebay. Here is one launching.

The mini-shuttle shown lifting off is a clever little rocket. Not hard to build, flies on small motors, and looks reasonable shuttle-like.

Except for the decals, there are no unusual / custom parts.
