Didn't last long.
Ohhh I don't know. 8760 Hours in a year, 17,000 years is less than two years airborne. Assuming he never slept, and did mid air refuels for two years?????? He could have started at 22.
Even if he flew the maximum possible 1000/year it would take him 17 years. Maybe he started flying when he was 7??????
I'm just trying to think through the HR logic here that passed their scrutiny.
