King Air 350 SIC pilot job at MAG Aerospace
Mag Aerospace, based in Virginia, is actively recruiting First Officer pilots for their ISR operations (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance). Minimum total time listed is 300 hours. See details here:
Why I like this role for Low Time Pilots
This is a great role for pilots rotating out of the military. ISR work is rewarding and provides a great opportunity to be part of the dedicated team. And the King Air 350 is a solid platform. You'll learn the PT6 engine, get a chance to do some exotic flying, and work as part of a multi-pilot crew.
I used to work in ISR operations OCONUS (Outside the CONtiguous United States) and for people coming from a military background, it would be a nice way to work in a familiar environment but also learn some commercial operations and move up into PIC on a turbine.
The Secret Clearance is listed as a preference, but I would assume this is a highly desired preference. And this role is definitely limited to US citizens.
