The 'Heroes' star - who plays power-absorbing character Peter Petrelli in the hit US TV show - was desperate to fly the high speed vehicles, but soon found out his weak stomach would prevent him from ever being a pilot.
He said: "I had a couple of options of what to do in my life. One, I wanted to be an actor. Two, I wanted to be a doctor. And third, I wanted to be a fighter pilot.
"During the strike, when Hollywood was shut down, I went up in a fighter plane. And I also spent some time with the Air Force Reserves. It was amazing. It was one of the coolest things I'd ever done.
"But I got sick. It's hard not to. There's actually a photograph of me before I got into the plane - my hair is polished, I'm looking good and I'm standing up tall. And then there's one of me after I finished the flight and I look a little crooked!"
Milo - who is rumoured to be dating his 'Heroes' co-star Hayden Panettiere - also revealed despite the second season of the show being poorly received in the US, he thinks the storyline will get back on track in the third season.
He said: "We're going into filming our third season starting on May 1. And we are back with new episodes in September!"
Milo can next be seen on the big screen in thriller 'Pathology' alongside Alyssa Milano.
