I wonder about a logbook audit......not to be insulting here...but as they say in Missouri...."Show Me!". I know some very high time pilots......17,000-19,000 hours seems to be the average for them but then who knows.....course if he was a Gulf of Mexico pilot....errrr.....normal schedule of one week on...one week off...throw in some workovers.....errrrr.....and he was 18...did five tours in Vietnam....that would mean 5,000 hours or so by age 23...and he is now 59.....36 years.....at another 1,000 hours per year.....yes he could have 41,000 hours. .......NOW PLEASE! Pull the other one.....! Not a Brit here either.........just a Doubting Thomas!
