Hours per Airfield.
This one ran and ran on the Flyer List some time back. Being bored yesterday, I decided people here might like it too - especially as so many of them are the same people.
I have 462 flying hours (f/w and rotary combined, to nearest whole hour)
I've taken off and/or landed at 66 different airfields. (My take-offs do equal my landings; sometimes I had a co-pilot ).
That's 7 hours per airfield.
I haven't counted private sites (by helicopter), but have counted short strips and an air park - got to draw the line somewhere.
Who's next?

Why do it if it's not fun?

Damn. Left my logbook at home. Which means I can't answer this today. And I also can't post details of my first 6 months after getting my PPL, like I said I would. Sorry! Ah well, I guess I'll just build up the anticipation a bit....

Great game! OK, for the low hours people I'll strike a mediocre blow..... 8 airfields, 41 hours , making 5.12 hours per airfield.
The best one so far has to be Goodwood .

170 hours - 17 airfields. That's easy to work out! I must get out more though!
Having just posted this I forgot the 7 airfields in Florida I went to - so maybe I am getting out enough!

53 airfields in 217 hours making 4.1 hours per airfield. Not too bad seeing as I didn't land away by myself for ages. I think I've come out of my shell a bit.
I think my favourite was Leeds Bradford becaue it was the first big airfield I'd done by myself. I got marshalled and everything!
