Who else has filled two pages of their logbook in one month?
I log up to 16 hours per sector
Not that I'd want to, nor your 16. A one line entry at one stage could be 10 hours, but that could include possibly say 6 hot refuels and 60 landings, or any number of engine starts. Used to put a tick on the windscreen with a chinagraph to record landings and add up at the end of the day.
Unlike you jet jockeys with plenty of short trips I was able (as a humble AQM / Loadmaster on 99 Sqn at RAF Lyneham in the early 1960's) to only on a couple of occasions fill up one page of my log book in one month.
I attach a photo of one such occasion in November 1962. A couple of interesting trips to Delhi carrying rifles for the Indian army who were fighting the Chinese in a disputed area of the north of the country (the Sino-Indian War).
One amusing memory of this trip was that the Indians were very thankful for the arms we supplied and asked whether there was anything we wanted? The signaller, I think it was, said "Yes a copy of the Kama Sutra." So on our next flight in we were each presented with a copy of this explicit sex guide and a large bag of tea!

Being true blue pucker Brits they would in all likely hood be more interested in the tea. They even had a play that ran for 6,761 performances, "No Sex Please, We're British". How do the Brits procreate?

I went from zero time to PPL in 1 month and 10 additional
flights learning aerobatics, unusual attitudes, and introductory instrument instruction under the hood. Primary trainer was a c150 aerobat and the logbook
rectangular so it's likely.
