Saw a couple of photos on pprune of 2 wildcat 212's waiting

Is anyone aware of the nationality of the pilot I have an old kiwi workmate flying for prism in the yukon at the moment.

No offence Cyclic Monkey please get things straight before commenting .I have definitly not had it easy ,three years going round in circles driving tractors doing 18 hr days to pay for licence . Then another three years being a loader doing ag in the morning at first light then sitting in a 6 by 4 caravan on the side of the road working my *** off selling glacier flights for the rest of the day cleaning heli's and even baby sitting bosses kid's being paid bugger all then being told I didn't have enough experience and try else where . Luckely by doing this another company was watching and started me. So please dont judge me by asking a honest question all I want to do is get into a 407 down the track it may be next year it may be in 5 honestly I would be quiet happy flying a 500 for the rest of my career. Regards Dan

Thanks for the replies guy's unfortunatly company I work for at the moment dont have a 407 (am enjoying the jetbox none the less ) so will start targeting companies with them for the begining of next summer. Keep out of trouble Danny

Just wondering what the chances are of getting into a 407 with about 1000hrs mostly jetbox/500 time am I wasting my time? should I get a bit more JR time before heading down this track. Got a friend flying one in PNG and he raves about it OGE at 13000' in the highland's and still plenty of mumbo Not that keen to get into AS350 would rather stay in a 500 and hang out the door Any comments would be appreciated Regards Dan
