Back when I was in Ohio I did a lot of Wildland Firefighter Training courses in Reynoldsburg (east side of Columbus).

I mention this because it may be a link (that you had not thought about) to core classes/aviation stuff on Wildland fire.

Lots of aviation on fires... albeit contractors mostly... never know what doors might open and who would pay for what training. Online offerings... Just a thought.

I was Logistics... the network of training at NIFC (nationwide) is EXTENSIVE. https://www.nifc.gov/programs/training

Good luck with your hopes and dreams!

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
