I'm 17 and have a very strong desire to join the RAF in a few years. I know pretty well the standards that are expected for potential air force pilots but i'm curious about how the selection for fighters/multi-engine/rotary wing takes place. How can you tell a fighter pilot from a helicopter pilot etc... Is it just luck of the draw for who gets to fly what?? or is there a structured differentiation between peoples abilities?? Any response would be appreciated. Thanks.
