When working in France one of our mechanics happened to ask one of the French pilots his total time which he responded "about 4000 hours".
The mechanic then pointed out that one of our senior pilots also had 4000 hours but it was in one of the B205's parked outside. I think the guy
had a total in the high 20's somewhere.
RVDT you are referring to A.Aska, passed away 1 or 2 years ago and flew almost to the end.
At the time (90/91) he had 18,000 hrs The 205 in question was C-GFHM, also he brought the first B205 in Canada.
