Any helicopter pilots out there?

[LightBringerParticipant 440]

I have really been fascinated by flying helicopters for a long time. There is no real way I could pay for my private liscense (50k) so it would be military which is hit or miss for MGTOW guys.

Anyone with any direct or tangential experience? I envision a path of military for the 6-8 years then perhaps doing wildland fire fighting as the pilot for seasonal but crazy cash.

If your thinking about fire fighting go in the Army, they will teach you how to fly around rough terrain plus they do get called out time to time on wild fires, mainly its the National Guard units. I use to be a vehicle mechanic on a area base where there was a National Guard helicopter unit and they would take their Blackhawks and Chinooks out with water baskets and practice filling them and dumping them on a target area. You do need great eye sight, motor skills and a good head for math.

I met one man who wanted to be a helicopter pilot. He joined the US Army to get their training. It worked for him. He did a lengthy stint and now teaches in a civilian helicopter flight school.

He said it’s chancy. Once you sign the papers, the Army can send you anywhere they choose. He lucked out.

YES! As a matter of fact. And he left an epic intro here:

He responded to commenters below that and his profile is here:
You can shoot him a private message.
