On the other hand, why would you need to? The plane's logbooks tell the
real
story. You have tach hours at annuals, oil changes, and other
maintenance. I
think that provides a better and more accurate view into the flying
history
of the plane.

If the airplane has a journey log, fine. But if all you have is hours
between annual, that's not very useful. A plane that's flown an hour
twice a month is a better bet than one that's flown 6 hours every 4
months.


Well you got me there. I was thinking of the difference between 20 hours a
year and 200 hours a year. It would take a little detective work to
determine the nature of flying as little as 24 hours a year. But I'm not
sure I would care what the answer was. I'm going to have the engine
inspected pretty closely before buying.
