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?

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....

119 different airfields visited (I count a visit as a departure) over 649 hours, which makes for 5.4hrs per airfield.

I'm lagging behind again with only 8 different airfields, and 71h 30min, making it 8.9 hours per airfield

I need to get out more

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!
