How many flying hours have you logged?

Neamhshuntasach

This was one of the questions i got asked in a survey out at the airport. I think it was someone from KLM. There was no way i could answer it on the spot but i told her to tick the 100-150 box. But it got me thinking and i managed to calculate roughly how many hours i've been up in the sky. Around 470. That's over 19 fecking days. And i'm sure i'm missing flights to England and Europe when i was a baby. Over 200 of them are to the US alone. So can any of you figure our roughly how many hours you've flown?

Big.
Throws a lot of hot air around the place.
Expensive to run and keep.
If something goes wrong, a lot of people are hurt.
That_Guy could quite well be an airplane..

Dancor

About 150

IvyTheTerrible

100.

i do fly a fair bit but bar the last two flights I took, all my flights were short-haul.

AnonoBoy

Probably somewhere in the 125-150 area I'd say.

Mostly short trips over to various parts of the UK with a good few to the US making up the bulk of it.

biko

I've flown lots but not logged a single hour.
Is there a log book I can buy?

I'd guess about 250 or so over the years, damn long distance hauls to US and Asia.

Nope. Born and still live in Finglas South. Had relatives in England and Euskal Herria so used to visit them. Went to college in the US on a scholarship which contributed to the tally from flying back and forth.

gerTheGreat

A pitiful 40-odd. Damn short-hall fights!

Manic Moran

Seems to be about 350-400 Commercial Air, 15 or so MilAir (C-130, C-17 etc), about 45 behind the controls of light aircraft, and about 5 hours in military helicopters.

NTM

The_Conductor

Thousands. There was one month where I was on 16 seperate flights (and developed DVTs in my legs). These days I fly a lot less.

pickarooney

0.5 hours. Only pilots log hours.

almostnever

Three. Ninety minutes from Dublin to Paris,and ninety minutes or so back.
I'll more than make up for it in a few years

Osgoodisgood

somewhere between 1200 and 1500 I'd guess.
14 returns to Australia, about 30 returns to the US, a few to SE Asia and countless Euro flights.

It includes all flying hours, you can count double time for any hijackings you might have carried out.

AckwelFoley

I was in the south of Portugal few years ago. And just came back from a whistlestop visit to New Zealand 2 weeks ago.

That alone is about 40 hours

Yeah normally just pilots. The exact question was 'how many hours would you have approximately logged since you began flying'. It was a follow up question to 'Are you one of the following... frequent flyer, rarely, etc'. Guess with them being in the industry they just got caught up in it's terms.

Somewhere in the region of at least 150, 2 to 3 rtn flights a year bewteen the UK and ireland. Handfull of internal rtn flights both in ireland and the UK. A few summer holidays and a winter holiday, a rtn flight to n america and internal flights whilst there. All of that over the last 20 years, all of that since the age of 10, was always the ferry before that.
