sure is a good thing we don't demand pedagogy here.
Language is for communication. The language you use should be
the language that is agreed upon by the people with whom you choose to
communicate.

Here the agreed upon form is "How many hours did you fly last year."
Everyone here, including you, knows what that means with
no ambiguity. Clearly you were attempting to be funny with the
pedagogy, but it is late at night and it didn't get a laugh.

Sorry.

How many hours did you fly last year?

Pretty difficult to fly hours. You can fly an airplane, a ballon, a kite
etc. but you can't fly an hour.

How many hours did you spend flying last year would be the literate way to
ask the question.
