Hi There,
Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction to finding out more about the aviation scene in Vietnam, and Hanoi in particular.
I'm following my wife there on a diplomatic posting in mid 2006 and I'm keen to check out whether there might be flying opportunites there to pass my time (and to provide me with a little pocket money).
I'm farely low houred (500hrs with CPL/Multi IR plus a 'C'-Cat Instructor Rating from NZ) so the 2 major airlines there are most likely out of my league (even though they are recruiting - sigh!) My initial research also seems to suggest that apart from these 2 airlines (Pacific Airlines & Vietnam Airlines), there is not much local aviation happening.
I would gladly welcome any info that anyone can offer me on the flying scene in Vietnam - whether it be with the airlines, instructing with flying clubs etc, GA, and even mission or aid flying work.
Thanks and all the best for the season.
