Military Aviation A forum for the professionals who fly military hardware. Also for the backroom boys and girls who support the flying and maintain the equipment, and without whom nothing would ever leave the ground. All armies, navies and air forces of the world equally welcome here.

Maybe a stupid question.

Maybe a stupid question.

Does anyone know the retirement age for an airforce pilot? I mean, when he/she can actually no longer fly (not serve).

60. This nothing to do with being a pilot, it is the oldest you can serve to. This also applies to reservists on any type of service.

AEF pilots can and do get exentions beyond 60, I think it can happen to those who leave the service but then rejoin, one rank lower, (and I can't remember the name given to this type of service), as a sort of uniformed civilian.

Sometimes they join several ranks lower, don't they? Didn't ACM Hine joined a reserve or auxililiary unit at Hurn after he retired from Strike?

Ditto - we have a 60+ year old regular at work.
