More importantly, they support my story about how I got into military flying, which could come up in conversation during an interview.

2. If it is wise to bring the old logbook, how can I legally move entries from that logbook into an electronic format. I've got all the original signatures for my checkouts and private pilot's license; however, I initially attempted to keep up with my military flying as well. I've got those 140 hours that aren't logged anywhere else, and then a couple hundred from being a student in pilot training. After about 350 hours or so I just gave up on keeping the log book so it is an unfinished product that I wouldn't want to show a potential employer (not to mention I'm a lefty, my penmanship is terrible!). What is the best way to take those 140 otherwise undocumented hours and safely present them in an interview?

3. I have to show my ignorance of the FARs here. I'm working on my airline app and it asks for XC hours. I could've sword I heard all military time is considered XC -- true statement?

Thanks!
