I'm going to CSUF and i want to major in aerospace engineering but they don't have that major there so i was thinking of taking the necessary classes and transfer to CSULB. I want to do stuff with airplanes because you get to go up high and fast. At the same time i want to be a pilot, a jet pilot in the air force any one got some suggestions?

First year i would get all of your Gen Ed classes out of the way. Maybe take some physics/astromy classes. Then transfer to a school w/ Areospace and ROTC. Whoever mentioned astro physics and areodynamics listed good ideas. ROTC is also a great idea. heres colleges w/ Areospace and ROTC in CA (thats what CS thats for i think, if not just add detials about what state you in)
Cal Tech
Cal Poly Tech, San Luis
Cal Poly Tech, Ponoma
Cal Long Beach (the i thin you think about transfering to)
San Diego St
San Jose St.

If you can -- transfer to a UC school -- or a great public university in another state, rather than a CSU school. The UC schools are all excellent, while the CSU schools do not have the same kind of academic reputation. If not one of those schools -- then at least try to get into one of the Cal Poly schools.
Companies that hire for aerospace engineering look for the best people. They know they have a better chance of finding them at these schools than at CSU schools. Even if you are the best -- you could get overlooked.

Go to Texas A&M where you can major in aerospace engineering and be in Air Force and fly at same time.

If you want to be a pilot in the air force, join ROTC if you can. You'll get money for it, and it puts you on track to be in the air force. There's no guarantee that you'll become a pilot even then, though.

origami then you can make your own planes.
sorry but seriously you are in a good position because you know what you want to do so go and talk to the college they are your first port of call and if they can't help they can send you in the right direction.
