86 hours and something, which was better than I thought, as I didn't think I'd been flying that much. Big chunk of it when converting onto a new type in the spring, then a dollop of 22 hours in August, then not much.

35.1 -this is DIRE!! I was regularly doing 50-80 p.a..........
On second thoughts, plane u/s April-July, on hols August, so about four months of the odd hired plane, so that's about 50 hours I SHOULD have done -back on target -phew!

Not many these days due other commitments, but my record is over 400 in a year.
Purchased a cheap Rallye, sold it a year later (less 400+ hours) for £500 less than I paid for it. Cheapest flying I've ever done..

Only 15 hours in 2002, although every second spent in a yellow Piper SuperCub... never mind the length, feel the width, huh?
(sigh)
This year's plan is to see what it takes to convert my CAA PPL into a Swiss one. I'll also have to work out where to fly from, seeing as Zürich-Kloten looks far too commercial to be much fun for a rebel like what I am.
Ideas, anyone?

108:50, a personal record, although far too little of it was genuine fun flying.
Surely since Switzerland is a JAA member, all you need to do is get your UK PPL converted to a JAA PPL. An IMC rating won't count, because it's UK only, but everything else should.

A very pleasant 29 hours - made all the better by the entry in the logbook in April 2001 which says "Skills Test Passed". Oh boy, was I happy that day !! <img src="cool.gif" border="0">
Now just got to improve it and hopefully get an IMC and who knows what else this year ....

102.1 hours (89.4 helicopter, 12.7 fixed wing).
No wonder I'm broke. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
Still, I do have a CPL(H), Dawn to Dusk trophy, and lots of nice photos of Ireland and the Paris heli-routes to show for it. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">
