I'm Irish and was wondering if I could be come a pilot in the US? We don't have an airforce here and going over to Britain is out of the question?

Any tips?

Note that there is already a (very short) thread on this topic: <a href="f-16_forum_viewtopic-t-2126.html">Foreigners joining US or other countries military force</a>

You sure you have no airforce? http://www.scramble.nl/ie.htm

I was at a conference with an Irish pilot. They have VIP transport and helicopters whose primary mission is patrolling the fishing lanes for poachers...

Yeah im fairly sure!I think we have a few really old trainer jets! And the fact that it's still an air corp means that it's under control of the army and is not a seperate entity in itself! Doesn't it?
