over 60 no where to go

If you think someone will fly you around the world for two weeks on two weeks off you are dreaming in Technicolour. All of Middle East including Iran follows the 60 rule. Actually in Iran you can't even fly two pilot over 60. Canada offers short term work visas for helicopter pilots, one of the only countries to do that. I've seen lots of foreigners there on fires in the summer, but you've got to go for at least 4 months. May 1 - Sept 1. Forget about Oz. They gave visas to 214B experienced guys when they first bought those machines but now hiring new expats is too much paperwork trouble. China no jobs yet unless you want to spray for two months a year on an R66 and have spray experience and the R66 rating. Any other jobs there require fluent Chinese as you are always talking to someone on the ground. IFR if you've never done it is expensive an no guarantee of a job. Have you thought about selling pizza slices from a pizza cart? Might be more profit and a lot less work.
