on our airfield one night over some libations we compared notes as to hours flown.
all of us own aircraft, some own quite a few.
of the private owners some have been active on the airfield since 1975.
every single one of us had between 500 and 650 hours.
sarge your grandfather has nothing to be in the least bit ashamed of.
his hours are those of a very typical privately funded private pilot in this country.
