Congratulations Miss Wilson it is a good job you do not want to become a journalist.
A-level student Emily Wilson is on course for a high-flying career after she got the grades she needed to become an
RAF helicopter pilot.
The 18-year-old, from Newcastle, who achieved an A* in biology and an A in chemistry and physics, has been accepted to study biology at the University of Edinburgh and will then
head to Sandhurst for her military training.
Miss Wilson, who attended Central Newcastle High School, said she originally wanted to be a vet but had a change of mind during the year.
While studying for her exams, Miss Wilson has been busy passing tests that are necessary for her to fulfil her flying dreams.
She said: 'I originally got interested in flying through the cadets and it's definitely the excitement and the variety that drew me in.
'I will go to university first and then
Sandhurst and by the time I'm 25 years old I could be flying an Apache and my family are really happy.'
