Research for film character
Hi everyone,
I'm currently writing a screenplay that has a main character is a female police helicopter pilot in Los Angeles, USA. Her reasons for getting into the job are because her father flew helicopters in the Vietnam War.
My questions are:
1. Are there any highly-experienced female police helicopter pilots in the US?
2. What would be a very respectable amount of hours for a police pilot (regardless of gender)?
3. What would be a respectable amount of hours for a police pilot who is female, to have her reach a considerable milestone in US aviation, and receive a (fictionary?) award?
I hope someone might be able to provide some info.
Thank you,
Andrew.
