At the 10 year mark, about the time you have the first opportunity to get out most fighter guys will have probably 1500TT with about 1200 or so of that in their primary platform. Heavy guys probably 2200TT. Obviously results will vary from platform, branch of service, deployments, but those numbers are also coming down, rapidly.Originally Posted by woutlaw
Not exactly on topic but purely out of curiosity, is it just the fighter guys who tend to not accumulate a ton of hours or does that affect the transport guys as well?I'd always assumed your C-130/C-17 etc... drivers flew a metric ton of hours every year, even with the whole only logging actual time the thing was in the air thing.
The 4000TT mark is a hurdle even guys retiring at 20 will have a hard time clearing, especially in the fighter world.
