Hi all
Whatever about trying to get a para/instructing job, the first thing to do is stay current.I suggest anyone within reach of a PFA Strut joins it, right away.Their aircraft are all Group A and most pilots will give you a flight in exchange for work, clean the aircraft, help out at Permit renewal time,etc.Many of those involved are ex-airline/military personnel and would have lots of contacts, so a little bit of networking and some sweat will get you some flying.The owners might even allow you the use of the aircraft, for the cost of putting you on their insurance.
