I agree with Pheasant - you need to think about what you want to fly. If fixed wing, I would also suggest the Crabs; if rotary, the the FAA is the best option. All service flying offers challenges, but flying back to the deck at night when it is harry roughers certainly concentrates the mind. You can also do that with the Harrier - but single engine over the sea at night, on goggles is not my idea of fun (plus I don't think I am good enough!!).

I don't want to be a stovie, I don't want to fly a jet,
I'd rather fly around, with wings that go around,
2 engines on my Westland Seaking!

And the RN uniform looks far, far better!!

Good luck.
