Either get a post as Station Commander or OC Ops (is that still the title?) at the home of BBMF or be a bloody good fighter pilot with lots of time left to serve there. Alternatively, be not too far away with proven skills to offer on the multi-engine jobs.
Not a job for anybody on an ego trip or with a nagging wife. Bust an aircraft and you'll be remembered for ever. The motto is 'Lest We Forget' - not 'We'll Remember You'..
