Many thanks for your nice comments and wishes.

I've never flown for the Oil Industry or big ships.
All the hours are done in:
AL II; AL III; Lama; AS 350; Hughes 300 / 500 and BO105, and most of it was slinging and fertilizing.

Many happy landings

Spencer17. Well done old chap. History will show that you were lucky to have lived and worked (and survived!) in the 'age of the helicopter' as they were born 100 years ago and they probably wont be here in 100 years time.

My apologies, I do not wish for this thread to go 'that' way, I was merely surprised at the original self effacing post of Spencer. It seems as though he may have had some well deserved Scotch that evening and had some fun on the interweb.

His subsequent post is a lot more humble and probably more reflective of the true character of the man.

I know at least five 20,000hr pilots and they are not the kind of guys who would tell you that straight off the bat, hence my original reaction/provocation.

Spencer, 20,000hrs of Ag/utility work is a fantastic achievement, have another Scotch!

Well done, fantastic achievement. What would you say was your best and worst moment while building those hours?

Well done Spencer 17. It is indeed an achievement esp most of your flying were done in single pilot machines. I should be joining the club in a couple of months but most of my flying is multicrew and offshore so there is nothing much to shout about.
