wondering what airframe to choose from but want to know the options for where I would be stationed at once completed with training.(ex. this place having more Blackhawks/chinooks/fixed wing than this place)

Why don't you google Army Aviation units, for yourself. AV units are in a flux, trading UH-60 for Apache's etc.

You can basically search for the CABs in the Army, that is where most of your aviation assets are. Wikipedia has pretty much got the mtoe for a CAB.

If you fly Apaches you're going to rotate between Fort Campbell / Fort Hood and Korea and the Gulf. Lots more places to go if you fly Blackhawks or Chinooks, at least so far as I know.

Just FYI so you don't sound like you have no clue what is the difference... Army has "Airfields" (as in Wheeler Army Airfield in Hawaii or Hunter Army Airfield in Georgia) as far as their aircraft not "Bases" unless its a Joint Base like McChord AFB and Fort Lewis in Washington (JBLM), other joint bases are AFBs and Navy Bases

Your best bet is to dig into FMSWeb. It's a bit confusing at first, but you can find what authorizations are allowed where.

From what I can tell (and this really shouldn’t violate OPSEC at all to say), -60’s are essentially everywhere, and -47’s are almost everywhere (very few exceptions to my knowledge).
