You are correct helonorth.
Let me start this over. I post on a phone these days, not a computer anymore and things get muddled. Or I'm getting senile, or stupid, or both.
Aaaaanyway, the correct numbers are...about five starts per day on average. Nine years in the 206 equals about 8200 starts (9 x 182 days x 5 starts per day). Then four years in the twin-engine BO105 equals about 7300 starts (4 x 182 days x 10 starts). So... 8200 + 7300 is around 15,500 starts on a C-20B give or take. Maybe not the number I originally thought (which is closer to the number of landings on offshore platforms), but 15,000 starts...hey, still a bunch.
