DanceswithCyclic Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Utility, as that most closely resembles external load of the given choices. Single, no kids, and living the 'camp' life or out of a suit case would be just awesome to me.Kevin M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helipilot PTK Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Dream life, Get accepted into WOFT within the next two years. Fly for the military for 20+ years, honorable discharge as a CW5, then get a LE job until they take my medical away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeroscout Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Corporate, Oil, EMS, if helo only. My dream job would be dual rated though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superstallion6113 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Gulf of Mexico. As a diehard Sikorsky guy it'd be my DREAM job to be flying on an S-92. I don't care if it's SIC for a few years. Plus it'd be cool to fly out to all the oil rigs. Not quite like flying onto spot 5 on an LHD, but still exciting.

Azhigher Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Tours, to EMS, to department of public safety. Oooooooooor something else entirely, ya don't know what you like until you try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotormandan Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I just want to go international. Probebly in oil and gas ops or corperate. Or some other flying that will out of the blue. I got bored of tours but I could handle it in New Zealand or if I could find one in say tahiti that would take me. Married but my wife would love to go too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitty777 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Gulf of Mexico would be great. Then I would like to end up finally in an EMS position. Spot 5, low light on LHD can suck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCM5 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 CFI, then Tours, then something like ENG or Corporate, and eventually Heli Ski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightsta1ker Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I'd sling load gas into hell if it kept me behind the cyclic, but my dream job is to be a pilot at a small operator that has one or two turbines and a handful of trainers. Primarily instructing with the odd utility contract to break the monotony . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Pig Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Im am an LE fixed wing and helicopter pilot. I would like to be able to expand into the EMS and Fire side and into more complex helos. Im flying a 500E. Thats my sad story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Start over on the same path, or another one ?I’d say a different path only because I can and, it will be much easier than the first go around. However, some kind of advanced turbine instruction, which I've done before, is not out of the question. Edited May 15, 2012 by Spike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akscott60 Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Fly the OH58D Kiowa Warrior for the next few years, get a deployment under my belt, and try to hired by Bco 1-160th flying AH6Ms. Retire as a crusty CW5 that scares people. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Pig Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Crusty CW5s are all scary. I think when you put in your packet for CW5 they use the full length photo to hold up in front of small children. If 98% of the kids cry your promoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arotrhd Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 What do I want to do.... Utility/FF would be the nice ticket. But really, win a big lottery, retire at my tender age of 42, purchase a fleet of various helos and build a bunch of bases in various conservative minded states, invite my pals at VR to come by and fly, just to fly and have fun. Finish off a terminal degree. Live a long, healthy life (well past 100) with full physical & cognitive processes intact. Make sure the junior and juniorette rotorheads grow into responsible/kind/productive adults (might need em later). Go to sleep 1 night, and, move on to the other realm, be judged by the Original Aviator & find myself in good company of those who preceded. Also be remembered kindly for my 'returns' to society. Maybe have even made of positive difference or impact, like: for some. That wouldn't be too bad. Since you asked. -WATCH FOR THE PATTERNS, WATCH FOR THE WIRES- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "scary" part may help me get that LE job on the bright side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADRidge Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Is it weird that I don't know? I'm in a company right now that has a strong utility leaning, and I could certainly go that route in a few years, so I answered Utility. I've got a little time on a 150' line right now, and it's certainly challenging work. I think I could enjoy that quite a bit, but we'll see. I'm also staring down the barrel of being my company's CFI for the flight instruction side of things (we're a two, going on three, helicopter operation) so I'll get to see what it's like being the leader instead of the follower. Honestly, I want to try a bit of everything. I know I love flying, and I know I'll do just about anything with a few exceptions. Luckily, I'm in a position where I'll be able to be a little picky with my next job or two. Now if only I could get into that whole turbine thing!

Machinegun21 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Utility/Contract(pref EU)/Long Line/Short Haul job for me. I think that either of those types of jobs would offer the most dynamic style of flying. I also wouldn't mind spending some time as a GOMER down in the gulf.

Pohi Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) I want to fly GA in my own helicopter. Maybe have a S76 for comfort travel, a MD500 to play around with, and something with floats to fly out to my cabin on an island.
