Libertine Winno,
Thanks. I don't think I am under any illusion as to the difficulty both physically and psychologically that the job entails. From personal experience of aerobatics, I can only imagine the sort of work load required from a fighter pilot in a dogfight scenario, not counting all other aspects of the flying involved.
I do believe something like only 7% of all aviators have what it takes to fly fighters, of which a much smaller % actually does. I am not saying I'm one of them, but I don't doubt my abilities either. I am happy for the RAF to make the call if I ever make it within the next 4 years.
