This is the sort of stuff you want to be able to look back on when your old. Well done chaps.

I’ve watched this video multiple times and I love it. I’m going to use it as my motivation to join the raf as a pilot. I just love that there are different people there caring for other. Keep up the good work guy s❤️

that typhoon forming on at around 5:30 is just epic!

Awesome stuff you guys. Keep up the good work. Proud of you Hussain

Can't stop watching it 💗 I'm so proud of u 💗✨

Damn this looks like the best job. How hard is it to get to fast jet training? I can imagine it requires a lot of effort.

Love these course videos 👌

Very cool video , no doubt most are training in USA after fun on the tucs , liked the typhoon coming up to say hi lol . Royal Navy kicks ass in the air

cracking video awesome

I'm a current air cadet wanting to become a pilot when I'm older, the only concern I have is air sickness. As far as I know I don't get airsick, but I have a phobia of vomit so I worry I would have trouble lol! How are you and the other pilots in that regard? Amazing video by the way

Nice Vid ,I Looked after the Tucano For 8 Years at Linton,It Was Not A fun As This Lot Were Having Though.

I don’t know if you’ll see this, but how’s it going?

I have to ask, how strict is the medical assessment when you join up? And also can you start your application before sitting A-Levels? I'm sitting mine next year may and my logic is that if I start my application early, then perhaps I could get a slot earlier on.

Jakub Wojasiewicz I’d ask your local AFCO

What is the aptitude test made up of? What type of questions are shown and what is featured in ground school I’m mostly concerned about failing one of those two things

D3RP TV google raf pilot aptitude tests and there’s loads of info on what they contain. Getting in is the tough bit. Once that’s done ground school is nothing to worry about unless you’re lazy. Most of the maths etc required for ground school will be tested during the aptitude tests so if you can pass them ground school is a doddle!

Not sure if you will see this but where will basic training be held as RAF Linton On Ouse is closing?

Would having a good degree make GCSE and A Level results irrelevant? Asking because I dont have the best GCSEs/A Levels but am studying towards a degree in engineering however.

When you went to uni, did you join a university air squadron? Because that’s the route I’m thinking of taking. Thanks.

M Trev how hard was it to get into the UAS? For example, were there lots of people trying to join. Cheers buddy

Brendan Gibson yes I think there were about 4 times the number of people applying vs places. Search for ‘fast jet performance’ as he has loads of tips for stuff like that

Does anyone know what are The eyesight requirements for RAF/RN Fast jets? And what A-Level subjects would you recomend for me to do to get in? P.S I was pretty over weight until recently so can it make entry difficult ?

I think it’s 6/12 uncorrected in one eye and both corrected to 6/6 (that’s from memory though so don’t quote me). I’m sure you can find out all the medical stuff required by doing a bit more googling. I’d say you can’t go wrong with maths and physics - certainly makes ground schools easier further down the line and can help with the aptitude tests too. Having said that some guys in training haven’t done either!

Thanks 👍 They’re RAF Shorts Tucano Mk. 1, and the one that appears at 5:32 is an RAF Typhoon

Too much tomfoolery. 265’s video is way better.

Could do without the music.
