How to Find a Helicopter Pilot School in Your Area

The concept of the helicopter has been around since at least the late 1400s when Leonardo da Vinci drew a design. It wasn't until 1939, however, that the first practical and economical helicopter was built. Today, helicopters are regularly used by the military, police, hospitals and even for private use. As with small planes, almost anybody can get a license to fly a helicopter, however helicopter flying lessons tend to be more difficult to come by.
