I mentioned the number of flight hours that I might fly in a calendar year and I'm thinking that compared to most other communities - both civilian and military - that my community doesn't fly that much per year.

On a really good year I might fly approx 350 hrs/yr - and these years have only been during my time instructing which commonly garners more flight hours on the average than "fleet" flying unless you are deployed; especially to Iraq or Afghanistan where you may get as high as 400/yr I was recently told. As for me, 250 hrs per year is more typical across my career.

What do other people out there typically fly per year? CFIs - what are your typical yearly times like? How about you 135 freight haulers? Regional guys/Mainline guys? Speak up you heavy drivers in the USAF! I know that there might be good years and not so good years - but tell me your averages if that is so.
