Missionary Aviation

Hello

Firstly, great website, thanks to those who set it up and run it.

I am very new to this so please excuse me if I ask questions which have already been discussed. I have looked around and found a lot of very useful information already. I am not a pilot yet but am considering training in South Africa (my home country although I currently live in England) and my goal is to work for a Missionary Aviation organisation once I have the relevant qualifications and hours.

The main thing I am interested in is how much work there is out there flying smaller planes if my intention is not to become an airline pilot. I will opbviously need to build up a lot of hours before I can apply to a Missionary Aviation organisation and if I am not accepted it would be comforting to know there is still work out there.

Also if there is anyone out there who has flown with a Missionary Aviation organisation i would be interested to hear your views on starting training now at the age of 30 with the intention of doing that type of work.

Thank you.
