Not sure what the going rate for a 135 is on private training, but with instructor, fees and fuel, it must be edging towards a grand an hour. There are a hell of a lot of good types available beftween your extremes of R22 and EC135. Buy Pilot magazine, look in the back and start ringing around. As money seems to be no problem, a phone bill won't affect you much. Lots of turbine helicopters available at much better rates and easier to fly as well!! Anything from Jet Ranger to EC120 will be fun. I am sure you will get a few schools on this thread advertising their 'wares' through an intermediary (just like labour party funding). A turbine student stating publicly that money is no problem could pay a lot of their bills this winter!
