E7 - Personal Stories: Flying Training

Leading 4 Life "Stories"

I'd love to hear from you; feel free to send me a Text Message

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussion of aircraft accidents and fatalities.
In this episode I continue my personal story as I finish officer training and move into the Royal Air Force's flying training system.
I'm extremely conscious that I could easily have filled an episode or more with each segment of the flying training system, since I learned so much about myself as I was going through it so, depending on the feedback this episode generates, it may well be that I return to cover some more specific elements in future episodes. However, I reined myself in and Episode 7 will give you a c.30 minute overview of everything up to my move to the front-line Jaguar Operational Conversion Unit.
It hits the high and low points of my time at RAF Linton-on-Ouse (Basic Flying Training at No 1 Flying Training School), RAF Valley (Advanced Flying Training at No 4 Flying Training School), and RAF Brawdy (No 234 Squadron, Tactical Weapons Unit).
As normal, I try to pick out some useful tips and personal learning points along the way and there are plenty to choose from during this formative and fast-paced early stage of my military career.
I really hope you enjoy this return to personal stories - do please give me your feedback; I really do value it a lot!

Thank you for listening!
