Where would I start?
Hi all,
Great site and truly an informative bunch!!! I currently work in the NY metropolitan area in a non aviation related field and wanted to embark on a career flying helicopters. I intend to do this on the weekends with lack of money not being a real detriment.
My eventual goal is to earn a living doing this in Kuwait. I have to move back to kuwait in another 2 years due to a personal situation. I am Muslim and an American.
First of all is this plan at all feasible?
And second whish would be the best place to get started with in the tri state area (preferably NJ).
Thanks all.

There's an ad in this week's Flight International for experienced flight crew for a company in Kuwait:
EC135 Helicopter Pilot (Kuwait)
The job's going to be out of your league, experience-wise, for a few years yet but it should at least give you somewhere to direct your enquiries.
