February 26, 200718 yr We've had the "highest" - HuggyU2 We've had the "fastest" - EvilEagle and JimNTexas tied at 1.7M So who's got the most hours??? I'm thinking with 5000+ hours, HuggyU2 is going to win another one..... https://www.8af.acc.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123026838
February 26, 200718 yr I know he's not on the boards but I just flew a fini flight for one of our loadmasters who had 13,000 hours total with 6500 of them in the Herk.

February 27, 200718 yr I'm at 6500, but I'm pretty sure SnakeT38 has me beat by at least a factor of two. Hours are a poor indicator of a pilot's ability anyway. I've flown with 20,000+ guys who were losers, and 1500 hour new F.O's who really made me sit up and work. (Outstanding hands.) Hell, didn't Bud Holland have more B-52 hours than any pilot in the history of that MWS?
February 27, 200718 yr I know a lot of Herk guys on here probably remember a certain sim/academics instructor at Corpus who swore that his buddy that he flew gliders with had 70,000 hours. I already did the math. That's 8 years flying alone. That doesn't count preflights, tail swaps, and maybe trying to drink a beer or get laid every once in a while. If I remember correctly, this same guy also crashed a fighter up in the Yukon somewhere and was chased from the crash site by wolves. Apparently his tears can cure cancer as well.

He still tells that story.....
