I'm a fair bit through my Pilots License, so i might apply for RAF, but as far as i understand you get no say in what you pilot (Fixed Wing, Rotary etc). One of my trainers said i was a natural, and i was in the ATC for yeaaarrrs so that helps when you apply apparently.

On the other hand i could go army, and be a marksman, i'm a fucking decent shot (without being blunt) with a rifle.


But i wanna do commercial piloting, so i'm gonna try and land a scholarship, and if that fails, then probably RAF for 14 years.

I believe you get a bit of a say...based on how you finish in your class. Top of the class gets their pick of what's open at the time. Bottom of the class...not so much.

I wish I was rich enough to start flying at an early age. Fuck, If I was rich enough I could've gone through with karting and even end up in a top level of motorsports

Ah well, looks like I'm going to have to do shit the other way

You get to chose between Rotary or fixed wing but not the model. You could end up flying a transport supply helicopter in Wales for your entire service.

Pilot

I'm going to be joining the RAF, unfortunately I probably won't get any pilot position because:

- We don't exactly have that many aircraft
- I don't have 20/20 vision anymore (although I suppose laser surgery could correct that)

But as the cheesy advert goes "you don't have to  be a pilot to fly in the RAF" (no I'm not going to be a cook or a janitor you /b/f2s tards )

If you can become a pilot, do it, Mahatma...
I wanna join the RAF and be either a pilot or a gunner.
