Cool

Another option may be flying choppers with the Army. You cand do the whole thing in 6 yrs for a Short Service Officer (SSO) with the first 18 months probation. Come out with 3000 hr turbine time- about 1000 night. Have been told that you can go onto Airline jobs after though I have never verified this.

Most of the aptitude testing across the 3 services for Pilots is the same. Ive heard Air Force Pilots snearing at Army Aviation. But when I had the chance to to go flying in a chopper, It made me wonder why I ever wanted to fly slab wing.
