We i'm unsure what aircraft I want to fly really; I just want to be in the air. It's something that were not born to do and it's not something that is very readily available to you (to fly yourself).
I do not want to rule out commercial pilot, etc. However there is something about seeing the helicopters for rescue and search that seem quite cool. I can see myself up there seeking out people on mountain sides, from sea or tracking people on the ground.
The problem is, i want to do both, ha. Theres that part of me that has liked planes from a young age, and a part of my now that just sees how choppers are quite cool.
The thing that puts me off the RAF is the wage and getting shot at, with my degree (if and when i get it) I feel I am capable of more. I'm interested also as to the hours of a commercial pilot, as this seems the biggest factor for me. I love the idea of going places but I have heard that you are away quite a bit.
At the end of the day though, it's something I have always wanted to do and no matter what I training in, plane of helicopter, I would love it.
Thanks for the help, I thought having a degree in computer science would be a good safety plan and wouldn't hinder my chances as a pilot.
