I think that 407 driver came over on the mayflower
If you actually met the guy and knew how many decades of experience he had, then you would never have made such a comment (Sorry about the decades bit 407D). They never had helicopters in the day of the May flower..!! I think Leonardo was just inventing them, then NO I was infact 300 years out.. DOH!

You are going to need more than 500 hours TT to work at Alpine Helicopters my friend. Try thousands and thousands. Good luck with your hunt in the interior. I guess that a job at Alpine is a Gucci job eh? Top of the line and very expensive to hire, BUT almost hard to beat !!)

407 Driver

Well said, and if i had as much experience i would be dancing with the trees like you. Safe flying and thanks for the meet back in Dec.

Ground Effect
I guess if you are going to get noticed in B.C. Then you are going to have to do the Canadian Helicopters Course (Full 75 Hours @ 75,000 CAD$) at Penticton. I think people might take you seriously after that, but that is no disrespect to the other courses .i.e ViH etc...
