Florida (Hai) or Oregon (Hillsboro), where to train and to live
I'm a 41 yr. old male PPL(A/IR) from the Netherlands. I've decided to make a career-change from IT director to Helicopterpilot. I have only 3 options to go for my training because I need a J1 visa. HAI, Hillsboro or Heliflight. I'm coming to the US taking my wife and three children. After getting the CPL/CFI I want to build hours in the US and then go to either Canada or Australia.

The point is should I train in Florida or Oregon. My wife likes Florida the best, but I see advantages in Oregon (weather, mountain flying etc.)

Does anyone has recommendations also on the outlook of getting the first CFI job in FL or OR?

It's not a question of doing it or not just where to start?
