I log up to 16 hours per sector
Laggard, folks can do more than that now. ;) 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? :eek:

Being Brits, tea we knew all about, but the mysteries of exotic oriental sex was something to be savoured, so we read the book avidly!

....."mysteries of exotic oriental sex....."

As in "one night in Bangkok and seven days with the doctor" !

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.
