RickAir is right. I'm USAF and I would say that an average pilot training class has about 22-6 people to start. There's usually 1 chopper given out. Therefore I guess you could say you had a one in 26 chance of going chopper in the AF. Pretty good odds I'd say. Plus there a fair # of guys who actually want the helo You just hope one ends up in your class and then everyone protects his life to make sure he is around to take the assignment :-)
