"Al G" wrote in message ... Juan, you do realized, don't you, that before there was an "ultralight" category of less than 300kg, there was, and still is, a less than 500kg category. Which was not part of the FAI categories in 1981. Give it a rest. Al, sonny, Marco knows it had not flown when the record application was submitted. Sonny? Jeez Louise, how old a do you think you are? Old enough to know better than you. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

... A commercially rated pilot, Campbell has earned Flight instructor Ratings (CFI/A/I/ME/H) in fixed and rotary wing aircraft, and logged over 17,000 flight hours in over 1100 different ultralights, jets, multi-engine A/C, helicopters, gyroplanes, autogyros, sailplanes, seaplanes, kit aircraft and general aviation birds. Has anybody done the math on 17,000 flight hours? If you flew one hour a day, it would take you 47 years to get 17,000 hours. |

Actually, he would have had to fly 2 hours a day, 365 days a year, missing
NO days, from the time he was 17 until now. Spoke with a retired Delta pilot the other day. He has a bit over 17000 hours, including Marine reserve time. According to him, in the "old" days, a retired airline pilot would average about 22-24000 hours, but since the changes, starting in the 70's, most average about the same as he. The avergae aircraft owner/pilot flies about 95-125 hours a year, according to the stats. You figure out who is telling the truth. Just my .02. YMMV "anon" wrote in message ...

Come on guys, racking up 17,000 hours would be easy. You fly 8 hours
per day, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per years for 8 1/2 years and you have it. I am really surprised that Zoom only has 17,000 hours considering his record. anon wrote: "red12049" wrote in message ...

I am really surprised that Zoom only has 17,000 hours considering his record. It's even easier if you round off your minutes. He probably rounds to the nearest hour so 31 minutes becomes an hour. Add that to the time he has flights of fancy..... Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired |

In your figuring, you should also note that Mr. Campbell doesn't have any type ratings. I think that means he has the world's record for the greatest number of hours flown in piston powered airplanes under 12,500 lbs. And probably the record for hours flown without an ATP. I dunno, I think he has the worlds record for slinging bull****. Tony |

No Type ratings? But he flew 1100 types. I'm not sure, but I don't think there are 1100 types. That would be almost every aircraft type ever flown. I do believe he would be hard pressed to show 1/10 that number. Truly a legend in his own mind. Haven't heard anything from the RRL. I wonder what they are up to. Al G |

I do believe he would be hard pressed to show 1/10 that number. Truly a legend in his own mind. 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. Remember, "figures don't lie, but liars can figure." grin |
