Retiring Vietnam Veterans Passing The Torch

After the war in Vietnam, the country had an unprecedented influx of workers available to take the reins in a growing helicopter industry. Now, as then, a group of soldiers returning home sees retiring Vietnam veterans passing the torch in all areas of the aviation industry. It's a matter of simple math, the helicopter industry is growing all over the world, and those honorable men who returned home to build an industry on the ground and in the air are reaching retirement age. Today's returning veterans represent a natural fit to carry on for yesterday's servicemen. The recent crop of retiring Vietnam veterans passing the torch are leaving at an ideal time for today's servicemen to take advantage of the flight school training funding provided by the Post-9/11 GI Bill (Chapter 33). Upper Limit Aviation (1-855-435-4338), a VA approved flight training facility, is uniquely positioned to help veterans begin exciting careers.

Given the hard economic times faced by much of the country, today's soldiers are lucky to be returning home to a booming industry where they are a natural fit. Vietnam veterans came home to launch an industry, while veterans of recent conflicts are coming home to build and grow thriving businesses. The applications that companies use helicopters for are expanding every day, all over the world, from aerial photography and surveying to oil rig transportation, police work, traffic monitoring, tours, flight instruction and movie and television work.
