Flying helicopters is the best occupation in the world. Finding the right employer is a little more challenging. Turbine engines rarely fail and usually a helicopter will give you some warning before it lets you down. Safety is something you will need to work into your daily life. Try not to let outside pressures effect your decision making. It's no fun spending the night in a field somewhere, but is fun thinking back on how you avoided disaster. Don't live your life in fear of dying. While you are alive, all that fear will have been wasted. Once you're dead, it's the furthest thing from your mind.
