Cool Helicopters

Hey everyone,

Im thinking of moving into the mechanical side of helicopters.

I know nothing about how to do this, where to do this, why to do this!!!haha
Any information anyone could give me on this subject would be excellent.
Job prospects, types of jobs, travel, negatives of the job, positives of the job, how well it pays etc.

Im currently saving to pay for my PPL (H) so i have a genuine interest in helicopters and have always been fascinated by how they fly and what keeps them doing that!!!

Cheers in advance, and sorry if there already a big thread on this somewhere!

James

If you dont want to join up, suggest you give Bristows, Bond or CHC a call and ask about their apprenticeship schemes, as they take mature students.
