I was wondering just for a bit of fun who has faced the most arduous circumstances in their quest to become a professional pilot?
I started to fly helicopters 7 years ago aged 34 (having wanted to be a pilot from the age of 10),since then I have gained my ppl (h) accrued around 190 hours and passed my cpl (h) theory around 2 years ago.
I have not flown regularly for the past 4 years as since gaining my ppl I have had 5 jobs in 7 years with periods of unemployment scattered in for good measure (having had 4 jobs only in the preceeding 18 years!) my wife left me pretty soon after I started learning to fly,I was made bankrupt and re-married....now separated!!
I have 12 months or so left to do my cpl course and test....I will get there,it's just taken a tad longer than I thought.....can anyone better that??
