So Im new ro the aviation world when it comes to licensing. I'm currently active duty AF In Okinawa. I've been working on my PPL for the last couple of year. It's taking so long because I'm pretty poor lol. I should be finishing here in the next month or so though. All I think about is flying. That's all I've ever wanted to do. More specifically bush flying. My question is, is how can someone like myself get into a bush flying career when I separate from active duty? Everyone I've met who flies seemed to have just fallen into a random piloting career. I have nobody to really ask. I don't know any pilots that I can ask questions to that aren't japanese. None of them have ever heard of bush flying. Long story short, if there is anyone out there reading these posts, please enlighten me with where I can go to school, or if bush flying requires a university type school. What are the steps involved in setting myself set up with the ratings and licenses required to get there? I literarily have no clue where to start other than getting my PPL finished and getting my instrument. Are there programs out there that teach bush flying techniques?? I feel very lost about my aviation goals. The big things that are holding me back are that Im no very well off. I'm only an E4. And my wife is in school for forensic anthropology. That being said, the only places she'll be able to get a job is in a bigger city. I feel like the places she can get a job are the last places that will have a bush flying demand! Can anyone give me some advice where to start or even share your experiences if you've been through situations like mine? Please, leave all sarcasm to youselves. I'm in need of actual advice, not criticism. Thank you
