Jobs: Aerial Gunner, Rotary Wing (UH1-HII)

   Cool gig, and I hope some lucky FJ reader gets it.  By the way, please do not send me a resume/CV for this, because I am not the point of contact or recruiter.  I find this stuff, and post it for the job seekers out there as a nice little benefit of the blog only.  If I ever do recruit for a company, I will let you guys know, and you can send me resumes until the cows come home.

    Also, please refrain from posting a resume in the comments section, because I will just delete it.  That is for your guy’s protection and I just don’t understand why folks do that.  If you have a question, and I have stated that I am a point of contact for the job in the post, then contact me via emails.  Other than that, happy job hunting guys and gals. –Matt

  1. Any of these kinds of jobs still open? I was a crew member on the UH-60 A&L in Iraq in 07-08 and Afghanistan in 09-10.

  2. This is an old job posting and I keep these up for historical record. With that said, probably the best company to look at for aviation related contracts is Dyncorps.
