Skidz Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Now there's a ringing endorsement if I ever saw one Jurgen. You've just got positive endorsements on Bighorn from three gentlemen who easily cumulate over a century of helicopter experience combined...

Cole Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Good news from OKMH in kelowna... they are adding a charter division and as far as I have heard that will increase the chance of internal hiring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jurjen Posted June 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Bighorn helicopters seems to be a good choice, but are there more schools by Calgary?? For me Calgary is a financiel good city, because I know people there. Does someone know something about Bighorn that is usefull Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidz Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I think you've heard lots of good stuff about them already Jurgen. Word of advice: Take a trip out here before signing up with anyone and go meet the folks at a couple of schools in the area where you want to train. This will let you get a feel for things. Also, go for a familiarisation flight in the aircraft you'd be training on with one of their instructors. Trust me, it's well worth the extra money...

Skidmark Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Well if you're thinking Calgary will work for you, how about Edmonton? Great Slave has a school there. From what I understand they only hire from their school, and not just one student a year. The numbers are in your favour if you have the right ATTITUDE. Thats the most important word you can learn in flight school. In a lot of ways it will carry you further than talent. But what do I know?

jurjen Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Ok, thanx, I will look after that school too. Are there more schools nearby Calgary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downwash Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Alright, cap! I resemble that remark! Obviously I'm not hanging around here enough to adequately defend my frail form. Besides, I thought you were 'working,' not idling about with your laptop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
