A commercially rated pilot, Campbell has earned Flight instructor
Ratings
(CFI/A/I/ME/H) in fixed and rotary wing aircraft, and logged over 17,000
flight
hours in over 1100 different ultralights, jets, multi-engine A/C,
helicopters,
gyroplanes, autogyros, sailplanes, seaplanes, kit aircraft and general
aviation
birds.

Has anybody done the math on 17,000 flight hours?

If you flew one hour a day, it would take you 47 years to get 17,000
hours.

In your figuring, you should also note that Mr. Campbell doesn't have
any type ratings.

I think that means he has the world's record for the greatest number
of hours flown in piston powered airplanes under 12,500 lbs. And
probably the record for hours flown without an ATP.


No Type ratings? But he flew 1100 types. I'm not sure, but I don't think
there are 1100 types. That would be almost every aircraft type ever flown. I
do believe he would be hard pressed to show 1/10 that number. Truly a legend
in his own mind.

Haven't heard anything from the RRL. I wonder what they are up to.
