High time airframe question

I was typically at 500 feet (or a bit more)and the air was pretty
smooth. Early morning. I know others used it as an excuse to low fly the
route. Having to pull up for fences and trees. I think the hotdogging
was hard on the airplane.

How many of those hours were spent doing pipeline patrols or other

piper wing separations tended to occur on hightime airframes that
also spent considerable time doing pipeline patrols.

otoh - 11,000 hours on that warrior is how many hours per year?

I would have thought pipeline patrol to be pretty easy hours. Flying
straight and level for long periods and mostly well under gross. What
am I missing?
