Depends on how well you do in the machine. The 61 is not an easy machine to fly and certainly not in the places CHI flies. if you have a good attitude, some skill with a long line then there is a path as long as there is room for another PIC. |

The question you have to ask yourself is why do you want an 61 type rating? There are only a few left flying and the companies that do fly them are fighting to stay relevant. How they keep getting fire contracts at this point is a mystery to the entire industry. There are lots of large ships that actually have a future you might want to invest your time in. |

It's apparent that these replies have a lot of "hate" in them for the 61. the 61 is not a difficult aircraft to fly at all. the hawk guys are always bashing the 61 for being a workhorse and still to this day, doing a great job. There are more out there flying then one may think. I think the blackhawk guys are just upset the 61 still has legs to go and each one out there is taking their hours away for them to play in their new toys. |

Hawk was built To fly a - b with a child at the controls and crash without killing anyone. 61 was build to land On the water and have a pool party then go out and lift 14,000 logs off the hill for 10 hrs a day and keep wanting more. |

So everyone thinks it's Croman? Couldn't he be talking Columbia with 107 and 234 type ratings? |

It's obvious none of you have ever been in the logging game. "10,000" is what the 61 will do. WINK WINK.... ask any real logger and they'll tell ya. |

Agreed with the wink wink but if you have a 61 or a 107 lifting 14000 lbs. you will soon be doing heavy maintance or attending funerals. |
