Carve, as you continue, you'll find it's not the hours which matter - it's how much you've enjoyed amassing them
. Maybe you'll find you love SAR more than anything and you'll retire with only 200 hours a year: or maybe you'll find that offshore is your métier and fly 800 hours a year. I've only flown around 15,000 hours, jack of all trades, master of none
. But I've enjoyed the variety of military, SAR, HEMS, police, offshore, mountain, instructing and I still have fire fighting, logging, long-line and ENG to look forward to
