If so, I retract. That is VERY good info to have so that you can work on your stories for the interview and track guys you flew with a long time ago. That info comes in real handy when trying to get or give a recommendation.
I go back and review my logbooks to recall particular flights with guys who are looking for recs and they are quite useful.
The FHR only tracks times, unfortunately. As far as keeping a logbook goes, it's something that was never stressed mainly because it would be considered redundant by most of the line pilots. Also, most of the leadership wouldn't tell a new pilot to start keeping a log so that they can make it easier on themselves if they decide to leave the AF early
All things considered, I wish I had. Well, hindsight is 20/20, isnt it?
