Life is full of little transitions and milestones. Back in 1995, when I
got my ticket, I privately vowed that I would fly 1000 hours in the next
ten years.

Jay H,

Outstanding! And also very interesting how you've managed to keep track of
all the small details from day one.

PS ... While 1000 hrs in 10 years deserves a hearty "Huzzah!", would you
believe that when I was going through my training, there were two
20-somethings from Iceland who were flying 100 hours a *month* as part of an
Ab Initio program for Icelandic Air. They started about the same time I did
but racked up over 700+ hours in the time it took me to reach the 51 hours I
had when I took my checkride. Must have worked because according the one of
the owners at the FBO, they're now both wearing three stripes for their home
airline.
