My mum lives near to where the RAF do low level flying training, so a couple of times a week you can see the jet pilots bursting out of the hills and if you give them a wave they usually give a wave back. Those cockpits are information rich. You have to be extremely good to be a jet fighter pilot, I wasn't anywhere near good enough so they put me through an Engineering degree to work ground crew. Cousin went through the Army instead and did get his wings driving an AH64
At the time I was around 175cm, 58kg, better than 20/20 vision, county level runner at 5k and 10k, 140 IQ, flight trained and military trained via the Air Cadets, no medical issues. Very strong in spatial awareness. Survival trained, top of the class in marksmanship. Reaction times weren't up to par, so they wanted me train to fly cargo.
