One of my best friends was a career Marine Aviator...he flew lead chopper
in the Iran Hostage rescue fiasco. Retired from Marines as a Col.
Still has license; hard to get well paying work, in his opin. He says he won't
fly in any chopper unless he knows who does/did the contiunual maintenance...
Another anecdote: another good friend has been taking lessons for a couple of
years, part-time...he says it is the hardest thing besides surfing and golf he has
ever undertaken. He is quite well off, but says the costs are considerably higher
than he was led to believe.
But, worth checking out if it is a dream. Tough row to hoe, imo.
