You're right, but I have a love affair with airplanes The DE that I did my instrument ride with failed his helo checkride the day before I got my IR. I found that to be pretty amusing.

USMCflyer, I'm not discounting them (helos), flight time is flight time, I'm not one to barge in the armed forces and start demanding things. I think we've all learned in aviation that if you come in expecting to do only what you want to, you're gonna be let down. I'd at least like the chance to change to FW if I could, but I have a feeling that once I would start flying rotors it'd be hard to get out.

I guess my first hope is to be flying anything, the second would that they would be airplanes. And maybe a third would be to fly whatever it is, often.

On another note, is ANG part time only? From their website I couldn't tell much. I also looked at GoANG.com, and the only thing I could really find were A/C specs.. I hear quite a positive buzz every so often about the Guard on this forum and wonder what all the hype is. The AF guy I mentioned earlier wrote me before saying after his enlistment was over he was going to go part time with the Guard, if I understood correctly.
