Like others, I don't know if you mean hostile locals trying to shoot you out of the sky or hostile terrain (or both).
However, I do recall you recently posted that you got your licence (R22 and R44) only seven months ago.
FWIW, I can't help wonder if there's a risk that flying in 'hostile territory' of either sort at this stage could mean your hours building coming to an abrupt end - possibly terminally. Maybe just a little too ambitious for the moment?
BTW, the Missionary Aviation Fellowship www.maf.org recruits pilots to fly in challenging terrain in several parts of the world but, so far as I'm aware, they recruit only very experienced pilots.

I would like to know if anyone knows where to find work as hostile territories civilian pilot

Tell me Marcelino do you write your own stuff? Because if you do, please keep it coming as I haven't laughed so hard in a long time
Seriously though..

I think Marcelino was saying, that is what he wants. English may not be his first language.
So if that is what someone wants, that IS what they want!
Some people do like this type of work you know, so if its not your cup of tea, butt out!
And there is only one way to find out if this sort of work is for you.

Hey swamp_dwarf,
Is there much fixed wing work there?, any type from C206 to heavy jet?

Marcelino, What do you think you would be doing in an R22 over Baghdad, traffic reports?
Good contacts for you in Iraq: Try Terry Wrist and another fellow Alan known as AL Kaida, I don't have a number for them but just ask around and I'm sure you'll be looked after.

Marcelino is a recently qualified helicopter pilot who like many others seems to have realised rather too late that a CPL, R22 rating and 200 hours does not make a pilot instantly employable.
Maybe I Can Help.
