Default Grand Time

Well I wasn't thinking about posting it, seeing how it's nothing next to most people but I'm kinda stoked about it so... I hit the 1000 hour mark today! Feels pretty cool yet at the same time it feels like I'm starting all over again. The first 1000 hours were all great, and let there be many thousand more in the future.

1000 is awesome. I think I hit 1000 flying jumpers.

That's cool. I hit 1000.1 on my last flight at my last employer. That was back on December 9th and I'm still at 1000.1!

Sounds as if you will be adding more soon, in a better place!

The 1,000 hour mark is a pretty significant milestone.....I still remember all of my 'milestones'

Hit 100 hours in a C172 out dinking around, hit 500 in an Arrow enroute to HUF, hit 1,000 in a Starship enroute to TPA, 1,500 in a King Air enroute to ADS, and 2,000 in a Dash 8 enroute to PHL......after that you kind of lose track!

I don't remember any of my milestones...so I guess I can start with 1500 when the time comes. It'd be pretty awesome to have hit your 1000 hour mark in a Starship!!
