Still working on paying for my private pilot lessons, I'm
wondering how to do on from here. Time I've got, money I
do not. The ideal thing would to find someone to pay me to
learn instrument flight, twins, etc etc etc and for this I
assume that I have to go military. I'm also painfully aware
that if I ever want *any* shot at flying something like a
F-15 or -16 I have to go full Air Force and graduate top in
my class and commit six years to it. I'm not prepared to do
that. I also do not want to get stuck flying transports for
the Army. Sooooo, what can I do? Before I hit the recruiters,
I thought I'd ask you people for some opinions. What sort of
programs do Air Force Reserves, Nat'l Guard, Coast Guard and
the like provide? What's the training like? What's your
commitment? What can you train on? Is there anyone else besides
the military that will pay me to fly, or at least allow me
to break even, in return for my time one weekend a month? Any
and all related comments are welcome. Thanks in advance ...
