I think its the FH number that is bogus too.

14 years is 122 640 calendar hours. 12 945 FH implies the plane is being used only 10% of the time. Unless its a hangar queen, that seems impossible.

Bets on it being 61k hours and 13k cycles? That'd be 50% utilization and 2.5 cycles/day which sounds more credible.
