He had close to 20 000 hrs then on everything from 22's right up to Aircranes, he taught you how to do stuff in the commercial world plus the amount of pilots you meet that just pop in to his hangar for a cuppa is invaluable it meant that I got a couple of job offers through that alone.
And as everyone knows it who you know not what you know.
The other thing is that he only takes on a couple of guys at a time which is great I blew out 100 hrs in 7 weeks I met a guy who was training at heliflight he nearly fell over when I told him that he had only managed 10 hours in the same time due to there booking system and he was also full time.
Well hope this helps
I heard today from one of his (Bruce's) students that he has now got 18 students and still only the one machine. Not sure if they are all full-time or not.
