84 hours this year. 23 in sailplanes, the rest in power. Most of my power time was split between towing gliders and training for my instrument rating. I'd always like to fly more but for me 84 hours is great. I spent a few years flying only 20 hours/year due to a young family, lack of funds, etc. I was always afraid that if I stopped, it would either be 20 years before I got back to it, or that I never would. It happens.

11:20 PIC, 7:45 P/UT, however since passing my skills test in July, I have only managed 3 flights totalling 3:30, despite having joined a group...

I've had to cancel at least 6 flights since August due to weather, including today...

As it stands at the moment, I am 82 hours down on last year
Hardly anything flown for several months now, but financial constraints rather than weather, should end the year with 76 hours.

Some jolly good hours in that though, Tempelhof and then return via Poland, Sweden, Denmark and Holland. Loads of formation and aeros. First aeros competition with a decent result too. Half a dozen different types. Both Jersey and Guernsey Air Rally's....... aye, it hasn't been too bad at all really

Roll on 2009.

About 130 this year. Lost 4 months' flying courtesy of the Lyco SB569 crankshaft swap.

30 this year including 3 solo.
Beats the measly 4 I managed to do last year!
Hopefully next year we'll actually have a summer and I'll get some more in

I only done a poor 22:15 and only 18:50 was P1.

So far;

2005 - 17:10
2006 - 42:25
2007 - 42:05
2008 - 22:15

If only flying was cheaper and the weather in England much better, lol.
