What you are is pedantic. 1out of 4 or 1 out of six. It was somewhere in that range.
Maintenance practices ebbed and flowed between bases. As did the flying. Some planes flew night runs only to get back in time to fly a day run to the outstation resulting in lengthy deferrals before they could find decent hangar times at an AMF base. I’m pretty positive I flew 191AF with something like 10-12 deferrals on it the day after another base kindly traded it to us. I know 188 approached that number and was known as sky pig.
