At Mauna Loa Helicopters, we take immense pride in shaping the careers of aspiring pilots from all corners of the globe. One of our standout success stories is Dietmar "Didi" Gufler, who made the bold decision to leave Italy and start a new chapter in Hawaii, choosing Mauna Loa Helicopters to propel his aviation career to new heights.
Didi enrolled in our Professional Pilot Program with a passion for flying and a determination to succeed. His hard work paid off as he quickly graduated and joined our team as a flight instructor. His dedication and skills soon led to a promotion, and he began working as a tour pilot on the breathtaking island of Kauai.
Reflecting on his time with Mauna Loa Helicopters, Didi shares, “Training in Hawaii was a great experience and an excellent way to start my career. I had the opportunity to meet so many like-minded, great people who helped me develop both my skills and mindset. At MLH, I received the best initial training I could get.”
Today, Didi’s career has taken him across the globe. He serves as a firefighter in Sardinia, Chile, and South Korea, and also performs utility work in the challenging terrains of the Alps, flying advanced helicopters like the AS350, AS355, and AS332.
Didi’s journey is a testament to the opportunities and experiences that Mauna Loa Helicopters can offer. If you’re passionate about aviation and ready to take your career to new heights, we invite you to join our program and become part of our global network of successful pilots.
