Hi Sid

I can only tell you how the Danish Airforce selects its pilots. We have one of the toughest selection programs because Denmark is a small country and can't afford to put people through the education who may or may not make it. It costs several million dollars to make an f16 pilot. If you are from US or other countries it is probably easier to get in.

They give you an IQ test, so I guess they do care about your intelligence. You have to be good in math and Denmark don't accept people who are allready wearing glasses. On top of this there are a lot of other tests you have to go through. This may be different in other countries.

Hope that helped.
