More Info 

I am police officer who has always had a dream and a passion for flying.  I have had the ability to recently save enough money to pay for my private rotorcraft license which cost approximately $18,000. While this training only provides minimal flight hours (40 hours per FAA requirements), most helicopter flight positions require 1500+ flight hours. The cost to rent a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter is in excess of $1,000 per hour. As you can see, this rental rate is impossible to achieve on a police officer's salary of approximately $50,000 a year. However, a brand new Robinson R22 Beta II helicopter is roughly $275,000, which provides up to 2200 hours before overhaul maintenance is required. I am seeking donations to assist in the purchase of a Robinson R22 Beta II to be used for flight training purposes. This would allow me to build valuable flight hours to gain an aerial law enforcement pilot position to further protect the public. This helicopter would also allow me to gain further rotorcraft ratings (Commercial, Instrument, and Flight Instructor) saving me an additional estimated $60,000 in flight training costs. Any ability to help me in achieving this goal is greatly appreciated.
