Idaho Flight Hours from Legislative flyer - 8,881

[Eclipse]

Is this a typo?  I consolidated the Legislative Days flyers to see where the various wings ranked.
Not surprisingly FLWG topped most of the columns, but Idaho with 1/10 of the membership,
blew past FLWG in flight hours by over 1700 hours!

If it's not a mistake, it's darned impressive, but how is Idaho cranking almost 9k on 9 airplanes when FLWG "only" did 7100 on 28?
It doesn't appear to be O-Rides, and there's no way that many hours could be accounted for in 50 CD sorties, could there?

It doesn't count all training and other flights.

That's still a lot of hours. If you divide 8,881 hrs by 9 aircraft, that's roughly 1,000 hours per airplane, for a whole year. That's around 120 eight hours days of flight time for each plane. No way. The military folks don't fly their planes that much.

Not to mention that's  10, 100 hr inspections per bird. Those usually take a couple of weeks each.

Would you care to share the spreadsheet?

As a PAO, I'd love to see them too.

WMIRS to the rescue!   :clap:

Now we have a statistic showing 50% of desired utilization. Much closer to reality for many wings.
