Dyn is a good start..most of their flying is in support of the INL. You will have to get hired through usajobs.com, under Department of State postings.

BW, LMCO, etc..they all have operations going on there.

Good luck.

I am in Afghanistan right now. Blackwater is big out here flying a bunch of t-props. I hear they pay really well.

What chance does a guy with around 1k hrs. who has been furloughed have of getting one of these jobs?

UN? Where would I search for something like that?

I heard Blackwater is getting Embraer Tucanos.
Anybody got any gouge on that program.
I understand they are delivered to a "shell company" owned by the Blackwater
Big Kahuna!
