Raf Questions

Hi there,


I'm a 16 years old working towards my solo for fixed wing. I'm an A student, I play U16A water polo and rugby. I am keen to join the RAF in about 2 and a half years time. I am a British and European national. I live in South Africa with my parents who are British citizens.


I just wanted to ask a few questions regarding the RAF airwing:


1)Do you do basic training, if so how long is it?


2)How long is it until you begin flying?


3)Do you do an officer's course before or after flight training?


4)How many hours do you do before receiving your wings?


5)After flight training what are the options regarding the different aircraft you can fly ie: helicopters, cargo, jets, etc...


Any other information would be great!


Thanks!
