The color scheme on your LT-40 brings back mixed emotions. Back in '69 I was an alternate for an appt to the USCG Academy in New London. They urged me to apply the following year (I was only 17) but found I had a one weak eye (20/35) which would disqualify me for an aviation career. I never reapplied and have lived to regret it ever since.

Vowed not to miss those opportunities with any family members.
