Both cool and sad to hear about IGQ back in the day. Lived in the area my whole life and just finished my PRH there at the end of last year. Around the same time I started at a helicopter company and have been able to fly and log over 30 hours of dual turbine time, keep working towards my Commercial license, and get real world experience all across the country! The only way I was able to afford the initial training was the money I saved while working in the Air National Guard. Have not had to use any benefits from it yet, but I know that day is likely coming soon.

Not only money but the time management is the hardest to do it everyday with a full time job

Yes it’s not easy to afford any type of flight training like it was years ago but unfortunately you just got to DO IT

[@HelicopterGround]

Exactly!
