Is that 75 hours of actual or 75 hours of IFR flying? 75 hours of actual is
a lot in a year.
Just curious.

75 actual. About 20 of those I received during instrument training last
winter. I fly mainly in the Northeast US and am based at an airport
downwind of Lake Ontario. LO throws off a lot of moisture. In the summer
we have many days of low clouds and rain and in the winter we have many
days of low clouds and lake effect snow events.

Most of the remaining IMC hours I accumulated by flying missions for Angel
Flight Northeast. IMO, flying for AF is an excellent way to develop and
retain proficiency, as it offers mission-oriented flying that must be given
a lot of thought before canceling flights, unlike a typical $100 hamburger
run.
