Question about military heli pilot or cargo pilot?which one is easier to get in?

hello im wondering what would the easiest spot to get into the army a helicopter pilot (blackhawk,chinook etc) or like a cargo plane pilot (c-130,c-17) they are both my dream jobs but which one would be easier NOT TO FLY just the spot.........?Question about military heli pilot or cargo pilot?which one is easier to get in?
Hard to say... neither one is an immediate position. First of all, if you don't have 20/20 vision, they won't consider you, you have to meet their physical and mental qualifications, you have to be an officer, and the training (after Basic and Tech school) is at least 2 years. Also, plane and helicopter training is different. I believe you'd have to do the plane training anyways before even considering the helicopter training. It's much different and more strict than the civilian world.Question about military heli pilot or cargo pilot?which one is easier to get in?
There are a lot more Blackhawks and Chinooks than there are Hercules and Globemasters. Simple number of vacancies would indicate it is easier to fly Army rotary wing aviation. That, and it does not require a commission.
You take a flight aptitude test to see if the military might possibly train you. The lower scores typically fly the big stupid aircraft like the CH-47, if your highly motivated and highspeed you might score enough to fly the UH-60 or even the AH-64
in the army you can fly choppers but the army does not have any thing bigger then a 5 passenger recon plane. no 130 141 c1a's not evan any more c119's
