Hey Vandal -

What aircraft are you bumming around the reserves in? In my community - 400 hrs a year is nearly impossible! I'll probably be close to the high time guy in my squadron this fiscal year with around 350 hrs in a fleett aircraft training squadron and I fly maintenance flights on the weekend and hang around for that dash 3 night formation flight when no one else wants to fly it! Generally - FRS (RAG) IPs fly more than their brothers in the fleet. Our guys on deployment are flying some really good hours while deployed, but then come home and barley fly enough to maintain currency.
