green_blue_pilot Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I'm currently an IMA Major in the Air Force Reserve. It's been great being a staff dude for the last 4 years, but it's time to start flying again. I can't fly a desk anymore. I was a C-130 Navigator and prior Army helicopter pilot. Since I was rated, I thought there was no restrictions on age and rank to fly (helicopters). I was told by a HH-60 unit that my rank and age make it difficult for me to be a pilot. BTW, I will be having my first look at LtCol next year. Any thoughts or suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Termy Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 "no restrictions on age and rank to fly helicopters" I have never heard that and am nearly certain that isn't true. I also know (having also flown for the Army) that you can't interservice transfer or have an acceptance of quals of anything like that. I think you are out of luck but I would talk to the folks at Moffett, Patrick, etc and find out for sure. Best of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_blue_pilot Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 (edited) Termy, I couldn't find any written guidance on restrictions on rank and age (except for MSD that applies to all officers).

Termy Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 PM sent. I might have a POC for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
