    Sounds like you've got a good attitude, work hard, keep your nose clean and you'll get where you want to go.
    Yes, times seem pretty good these days compared to those (my!) days when you needed 1000 hours to get a 210 charter job and 2000 to get a 310 job! Make the most of it.

    I do this now - and spend a lot of time in the tropics when not doing this. Not my video just one on youtube I found.

    Thanks BigBlackDog and strangy for your suggestions. PMs sent. Great to get advice from different people, I really appreciate it. No matter where I end up, I think flies, red dirt and hot days are coming my way. It makes me think of this video.

    Stallie I see your current location is a little cooler than those when you were flying 210s. I would love to end up doing something like that. I know you do a lot of other Federal Government contracts so Im guessing your work is pretty diverse. Looks very exciting!

    Hi Stallie, our paths must have crossed in the late 90's at Timber Creek. I worked for NAH in Katherine and spent a lot of time down at Timber Creek in a Helicopter flying the Army around when they purchased Bradshaw Station off of McBeen.

    From there, I spent a few years flying out of Darwin for Jayrow.

    I still miss the flying in the Top End.
