Today's flight put me over 300 hours total time without bending anything.
Someone here once wrote that that was a statistical milestone with regards
to accidents. Is that true?


I dunno.

I passed 1,000 hours last year, also reckoned to be some kind of safety
milestone. Now, I find my problem is relaxing TOO much. Complacency is
dangerous--maybe more dangerous than inexperience.

Stay sharp, Jeff.


Will do. Before this thread goes too far astray, I would like say that my
question about relaxing is tongue in cheek. It's always too hazy to relax
much around here in the Southeast and as a consequence, I always file IFR.
I'm extremely paranoid and I depend on the guys at the scopes to help out.
