Does Arnold Palmer still fly? According to one article, Palmer had 20,000
hours as of a couple years ago.


That's an incredible number of hours for someone who's not an airline
pilot. I wonder if the writer slipped in an extra zero.


Nope! Remember, he's been flying for going on 50 years and was flying
to/from tournaments as well as running several business enterprises for
about 45 of those years. Airline pilot's careers never last probably half
that long.

When Cessna brought out the X (10) model, he got #1. He also had a MD500 for
several years and did promo work for Cessna and MD.
