But, there are some good guys out there with a lot of experience who
did that too. I have a buddy I just had lunch with who just retired
from Continental with 35,000 hours. He flew P-3's and the
Constellation before that in the Air Farce. He's got some
stories...like flying through typhoons. But, he also built a Pitts
S-1 and competes with it too, so he really can fly.


Wow. And here I was impressed with the guys I knew with 18 and 19,000
hours. (The guy with 18k probably had a lot more - he quit logging
time except as required for currency some years back.) Makes you
wonder, though - what's the record? (Space station astronauts don't
count - that's cheating.)

BTW - I thought the P-3 was a Navy plane?
