IMA back to flying Helicopters in ANG/ AFRES?

[green_blue_pilot]

I'm currently an IMA Major in the Air Force Reserve. It's been great being a staff dude for the last 4 years, but it's time to start flying again. I can't fly a desk anymore. I was a C-130 Navigator and prior Army helicopter pilot. Since I was rated, I thought there was no restrictions on age and rank to fly (helicopters). I was told by a HH-60 unit that my rank and age make it difficult for me to be a pilot. BTW, I will be having my first look at LtCol next year. Any thoughts or suggestions?

"no restrictions on age and rank to fly helicopters"  I have never heard that and am nearly certain that isn't true.  I also know (having also flown for the Army) that you can't interservice transfer or have an acceptance of quals of anything like that.  I think you are out of luck but I would talk to the folks at Moffett, Patrick, etc and find out for sure. Best of luck.

Termy,

I couldn't find any written guidance on restrictions on rank and age (except for MSD that applies to all officers).
