Is it even worth mentioning...........?
The flying best job in the world - assumes you can first hover!
Sadly I am now flying 744s but not a day goes by that I do remember those 4500 low level helo hours.
Im 33yo and it all seems to have changed far too soon. The only person who really seems happy about the cureent way of life is the bank manager.
Btw, my civilian friends from Bots and PNG have equally compelling "war-stories". Ahhh, those were the days.
DONT MOVE TO THE AIRLINES TOOOOOOOOO SOON!
