Well, if you are successful in your quest to be an RAF Fast jet pilot, then if you make a good enough impression, then maybe the RAF will let you play with one of their spit’s! I guess that means you’ll probably have to be flying the Eurofighter from Coningsby, but that would be no great hardship would it?!!!!
If you’re not successful in joining the RAF, then head stateside with a lot of money! (But you will need a lot!). Warbird adventures at Kissimmee will teach you to fly the Harvard (T-6 texan over there!)
www.warbirdadventures.com A ten hour course on the T6 will set you back $5200.
From there, it’s just a small walk across the pan to Stallion 51
www.stallion51.com . They will teach you to the P51. They recommend a minimum of 500hours, 100 hours of which should be on tail draggers, and at least 10 hours of that should be on the Harvard. As for the P51 course… No idea what it costs, but I remember it being far too much for me!
Hope that helps.
Cheers

Ps – If anyone is heading to Florida, then I’d recommend an hour in one of the T6’s at Kissimmee…. Great fun!
