There are some truly exciting jobs open to helicopter pilots. What are the opportunities? What are the requirements? How long does it take? Where do you start? What does it cost? What kind of salaries do pilots earn? These are not simple questions with simple answers, so bear with me and read on. It's very important to understand that earning a Commercial Pilot certificate and other advanced FAA ratings is just the first step down the road to becoming a Professional Helicopter pilot. Realistically, it's not easy, quick, or inexpensive to gain the flying experience required to "get your foot in the door." If it were, there would be tens of thousands of helicopter pilots out flying for a living. But because it IS a very desirable job, there are many people (perhaps like you) who aspire to fly helicopters as their life's work. Most people who do it love aviation and would not trade it for any other career. There are few more exciting, challenging, or interesting jobs anywhere. Many people have dreamed their whole lives about flying helicopters for a living. So You Want to Become a Professional Helicopter Pilot? ![]()

The Steelers narrowly beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 in overtime in Week 1. Mac Jones is dealing with a back injury and his status could be up in the air for this game. That was exactly the case the Pats had just under 300 yards of total offense and one TD in the 20-7 loss. The issues many believed would haunt the Patriots this season would be offense. The Patriots opened up the season with a loss to the Miami Dolphins, something we’ve rarely seen in the Bill Belichick era.

![]() ![]() Thousands of human rights activists were stranded, some sheltering with friends and moving every day to avoid arrest by the Taliban. “We are running out of supplies and scrambling now to see how we can get the next shipment in,” said Richard Brennan, the regional emergencies chief of the World Health Organization.Īs tragic as are the images of people clinging to a departing American plane, he said, “the bigger humanitarian picture has been lost in all this.” Relief agencies are struggling to bring food, medicine and other urgently needed supplies into Afghanistan, according to officials. The bottleneck at the airfield threatened to set off another humanitarian crisis. While the president spoke of the heartbreak of the past week and said there would be plenty of time for “criticism and second-guessing,” he was defiant that leaving Afghanistan now was the right move. They had intended to walk the 200 yards to the airfield, but local commanders, concerned about a crowd at the gate, decided to send the CH-47 helicopters, which loaded the passengers and made the short hop to the airfield without incident, said John F. In one case, the United States dispatched three helicopters to pick up 169 Americans who had gathered at a hotel near the airport.

Many more people were simply turned away, repulsed by reddish clouds of tear gas and volleys of rifle fire above their heads. Thousands of Afghans continued to besiege the airport gates, begging to get on planes as Taliban militants menaced them with sticks and rifle butts. Biden pledged not to abandon American citizens or Afghans who helped the United States, he left untold others in a dangerous limbo, conceding, “I cannot promise what the final outcome will be.” The president’s reassuring words, however, conflicted jarringly with the grim reality in Kabul, where panic reigned and the Taliban encircled the airport in a ring of terror. “Any American who wants to come home, we will get you home.” LONDON - The desperate scenes at the Kabul airport reverberated around the world on Friday, forcing President Biden to defend his handling of the chaotic evacuation and fueling recrimination from American allies that are struggling to get their own citizens out of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
