0hunter0,
Couldn't agree more about the Class 1 medical! Sure it's expensive (initial still about £400?), but you can't fly for the big boys without it at some stage - and £400 is peanuts compared to the £40,000 you are about to spend if you find out early on that you can never pass it!
You can never judge your own medical fitness - one of the applicants on my army pilots course was a v fit Para, consistantly outrunning butcher's dogs etc. Aircrew medical not only prevented him from doing the course, but led to a discharge from the army! (Apparently he thought that the fact he was p!$$ing blood just meant he was training too hard - turns out his kidneys were packing up
).
Anyway karanou, all the best whichever way you jump!
