How many flying hours have you clocked up?

VEGAS · Post by **VEGAS** » 16 Jan 2007, 09:37

Hi all,

was discussing simming (for a change) last night and the subject of total flying hours came up.

So I sat down and worked out, only very roughly, how many hours I have clocked up over the years.

For this I have started from my Flight sim 98 days and included everything right up to the present day in FSX. I don't log my flight times as a rule but generally know, very roughly, how many hours a week I spend on FS and thus was able to come up with an estimate figure. I'm hoping it won't be too far out but this figure includes every aircraft category as I think it would be impossible for me to work out figures for each aircraft type. So this includes all airliners, general aviation, military and helicopters.

On average I would estimate I spend 8 hours per week and have done since 1999.

That equates to almost 3000 hours!

I think others flying hours will obliterate this figure.. :sad:

However, can someone post me a badge? :think:

Fresh out of badges I'm afraid. Will a pink rosette do?

Blimey Rick, what do you do in your spare time then?

Hi Nigel

I work nights these days and hardly sleep.

i would guess on an average of 40 hours a week in sim & FSDS3

maybe more.

my FSX logbook says 1053.4 hr so far remember i tested the chipmunk and all my others for a few weeks to find the problems so i can make a plan of action.

still not made one

I seem to be the only person on the planet that prefers FSX to FS9

But i always was a Sheperd & never a Sheep :shock:

Regards
Rick

I don't even want to try and add it up again.... I had over 5000 last time I checked since FS5, and that was over a year and a half ago, so it's been probably another 500 or so hours since then.
