The average private airplane flies 26 hours a year.


That surprises me.

Two hours/month; seems hardly worth the bother.


Note I said average, not median. You fly 120 hours a year, I've been
known to fly twice that. For every one of us, how many have to not
fly at all to make the numbers work?

I've looked at the private planes at my home field, and the average is
just about right - but the distribution is bimodal. There are the
people flying 50+ hours, and there are the people flying less than 20.
I think half the planes fly once or twice a year or not at all.
