[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone else’s mind still blown that DC airspace is used for training? I guess I thought all those military helicopters were actually doing legitimate military work, not training. I get that training is a necessity but still. [/quote] Not training as in "learning how to do something brand new", training as in certification (or even recertification).[/quote] Not training as in “new BH pilot” training as in, pilots are always training. My dads been a pilot for decades (since before I was born and I’m 40), and he still has a few flight instructors that he relies on for training flights. Flying is not like driving - you have to use flight instructors often to keep your skills “current”, get recertified often for things like night time take offs and landings, and even daytime take offs and landings.
