Instant job!

I heard about an interesting situation here in Ontario going back about 30 + years. Niagara Helicopters used to have a RW school as part of their operation at Niagara Falls. At the end of one of their commercial courses (100 hours) a recruiter came up from the
States. In fact he was from the U.S. Army. This guy offered a deal that was hard to refuse - join the army and become a Huey pilot at their expense. In addition, you became a warrant officer and got to go to exotic places - like Vietnam, for instance. In any case I heard most of the new pilots joined up but I never heard anything more. Those were the days...
