Read *carefully* It doesn't say 1100 different _types_, just 1100 different
aircraft. Also note that all it says is that he has 'logged flight hours'
in those craft -- it does *NOT* say that he was the PIC. Given that it
specifies 'jets', and 'multi-engine A/C', one might suspect he's counting
'flight' time spent in the passenger compartment of scheduled airlines.

Given a lack of type ratings, one might conclude that the claimed flight time
does not include pilot/co-pilot time in anything requiring a type rating, such
as a 'multi-engine' rating, or a 'seaplane' rating. A reasonable conclusion
would be that he was a _passenger_ in those types. Lending credence to the
suspicion in the prior paragraph.

This bio says 1100 aircraft, but his usual bio says 1100 types. He
"justifies" it by saying that a 1968 Cessna 172 is a different type
than an 1969 Cessna 172.

(Of course, I don't believe that for a moment either. His Mooney sat
on the ramp at Winterhaven with flat tires for more than 2 years.)

Maybe he counts individual flights in the same aircraft? After all,
each time he flies it is a different one as it is now 'older'.


Heck, it's got different gas in the tank, of course it's a different
airplane!!!

And he can claim a different one every time he flies as a passenger as
it is likely the 757 on this flight is different from the last flight.
