Here is one for ya.... my logbooks AND my military flight records were destroyed by Katrina. I have copies of my flight orders from the military and my DD214 which shows I was a Qualified C-130E Aircraft Commander. The rest is history. I also had about 1000 hours of 121 time when I flew for AE years ago. According to the FSDO office I can create a new logbook with "best guess" hours and include a signed and notarized statement as to the hours and the reason for the new book. I have a request in to AE to see if they have my flight times from my employment there. So.....I have done what the FSDO office stated and we will see what happens.
