I think the lowest time plane I ever piloted was about 25 hours on it (a CRJ-700 or 900, don't remember which).

Back in 1995 I ferried a 1974 Cessna 172 that had only the test flight logged on it, a total of .7 hours total airframe time. They were not making the 172's at that point in time so it was probably the lowest time 172 in the world.

Flew a few brandy new C208B's with less than 100 hours on them.

Fly brandy new 777F's, first one I flew had about a 100 hours on it.

Flew one of the last A300s built a few yrs ago before Airbus shut down the line that year, it had been on the line for a month.

A brand new C-172 SP with 10 hours TT on it.

My wife got to pick up a brand new 737-700 (940WN) with WN last summer. It had a total of 3 hours on it when it left Boeing field.

Picked up a couple new Cessnas from Strother Field in the early 80s. I don't think either one had more than an hour on the tach.

Me too, did you take them to Morristown? Delivered brand new AG-Cats from Elmira, new Pawnees from Lockhaven, and new AgWagons from the Pawnee plant by McConnell. One of the Louisianna Cats was wrecked before I could deliver the second one.
