I was 42 when I converted to rotary. I had a fixwing and did a lot of single engine trans-Atlantic ferry work, but it's dangerous and lonely.
I am now 51, and have 4000+ hours of rotary turbine time. I got lucky.
My son is just doing his CPLH, and I have had to invest a lot of money in him - he is lucky.
Some one will employ him - for peanuts, they will be lucky.
Do you feel lucky ?
