Mungs,

Your choice (if any) depends on a number of factors:

1. TSA clearance for training (Alien Flight Student Program - www.flightschoolcandidates.gov). Your work visa may not allow flight training. You'll have to speak to someone at the school(s) for detailed info.

2. Which flavour of helicopter? I think NEHA uses S300s, and East coast Aero uses R22/R44. If you're flush with cash take a flight in the EC120 with Helicopter Services Boston (www.bostonhelicopter.com), although they don't do primary training in this, but will probably point you to East Coast and their R44.

3. Getting to the training location. East Coast Aero I think is accessible via public transport, but it involves subway & bus I think. Not sure about Plymouth, but in any case a car is your best bet.

4. Further afield there's CR Helicopters in Nashua, NH. Definitely a car ride away.

Hope this helps and good luck.
