Hi,

My names Tom and i'm 18 from England.
For years i've been interested in becoming a helicopter pilot, and i've spent my time recently researching all aspects of it, and i'm very intregued. I'm just after any help that can be offered, which are the best ways to go about it, what to look out for, what not to do etc.

Also, from reading the forums a lot of people here really know what they're talking about, is there many career oportunities for a helicopter pilot out there?

Thanks for your time, and I appreciate any comments.

Hi Tom. Best bet is to head down to your local Army recruiting office and sign up. Let the government pay for your flying plus you get a job at the end of it.
