I'm thinking there ain't exactly a slew of people who are current on DC3's while wearing NVG's...

[Jack Cook]

It just says current with NVG not necessary DC-3s but gee maybe C-130s

[CAPFlyer]

Actually, it says that you will be qualified (i.e. they'll give you the qualification as part of your training), technical quirk there, but important.

I think they cut out the part about "Orphans preferred".

The lowest salary is $130,000. Figure in the two additional 35% (70%) and you get a low base of $221,000/year! Hmmmm, temptation....But I need to retire first and can't do that until December.

Afghanistan-ha! probably a great place as an above ground Nuclear Test Site

[bluehawk15]

Probably safer in the air than on a road there! Hmmmmm, imagine a tactical approach in a turbo DC-3!!!

I sent that to JCW who would be their dream pilot but he said their salary X 4 wouldn't be enough!!!

[vernicator]

I wonder if it will be on this aircraft seeing as it's already over there....
