This is just a thought..based on my own experieneces. I was flying in AAC then got an 'exchange'posting to 72 Sdn RAF back in 1970.. .I then went Civi and accumulated over 7000 rotary hours, until I gave it all up.. .I know that, when you are young and bushy tailed you just want to fly. Nothing else seems to matter. But just try and think a bit more long term. (Trust me on this).. .I can tell you now that when you get a bit longer in the tooth and have built up a lot of hours you will start to regret ever having sit in a b******. .helicopter in the first place. In fact you will start looking at those sitting behind a desk in some nice comfortably office job with considerable envy. But there we go. Best of luck . .anyway.
