Fighter Pilot

on BBC One London

A series of eight films which follows the fortunes of the young men who aim to fly the fast jets of the Royal Air Force. 4: Solo
In the time it takes the average person to learn to drive, the RAF's future fighter pilots will fly their first solo - in a jet.
The first trip on their own takes only five minutes. The student has no time for nerves. For the instructor it's a different matter. Sending the birds out of the nest can be a nail-biting experience.
