I have met many FAA pilots (and have an "ex" in my family) and I do believe that many of them join for the uniform primarily. Those with an overwhelming desire to flytend to join the RAF. I met a few NCO pilots in my early days in the RAF who had turned down commissions in other aircrew roles or ground branches. Good luck, and enjoy the social life which is incomparable.
Can't agree with that. Sure, it's a great uniform, but so is the flying. I had an RN EFTS QFI who had been carrier-deck qual'd on the mighty F4 aged 19 as a Midshipman (so he told us
) - I doubt that his sartorial desires alone got him that far.
