1. The best place to get one is in the military, any branch of service. If you do get one on your own; it's difficult if not impossible to get a job. People want the experience of a well train pilot, and that's the only real place to get it. Plus you get paid to learn.

For more information about civilian training in general, you can read my answer here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsedTr3km2nQv9PI1Cq0gY_ty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090209112001AASgLIB&show=7#profile-info-Ioa8nlEzaa Military training is not the only viable way to start a career as a helicopter pilot. Both civilian and military career paths are possible, but also both are very challenging. Do your homework before taking either path. Also, check the military section of Answers to see if there are any recruiters there. Good luck!
