I was an Air Force pilot for 10 years. I flew helos, and I flew fixed wing. I had to go to flight school for both.

Helo training is about 10 months to get your wings. Then there is follow-on training designed to train you to fly the specific aircraft and mission for your first assignment. This follow-on training lasts from 3 to 6 months. After arriving at your first unit of assignment you will receive even more training.

Fixed wing flight school (UPT, Undergraduate Pilot Training) takes one year. The follow-on training timeline is similar to that of helo training.

The whole thing is an experience that is well worth the time spent.
