I'm up around the 25hr mark. 3 flights a night weeknights then anything goes on weekends.A health problem is knocking me back at the moment(looks like its permanent)and I've had to give up more than a couple of physical activities. I've upgraded my computer to get FS running to my satisfaction because without it I'd be round the bend.
White on White fly all night.

Red on White you're alright.

Red on Red you'll soon be dead.

I had to defragment last night and got withdrawl symptoms.  I am starting an "Around Africa" flight today in a Harrier when I get home from work which will increase my hours a little.

Probably too much! I spend a couple of hours a day doing flights, which would add up to over 20 hours a week. Mind you, there have been times when I've done 5+ hours a day.....!

I spend about 10 hours a week. As you can see from the picture, there are many places to visit. I couldn't resist flying through. (Although I just realized that I never pulled my landing gear up! :o)

Not enough!! I have a 7-month-old who doesn't quite understand the issue. But I will have him hooked in no time and he'll be criticizing my landings! ;D

I usually spend about 5 hours a week...now that I have started my RTW flight I suspect that will increase  ;D

I would love to spend more time flying but I have a 7 year old that does not see the fun in sitting in front of a screen on Autopilot...he would rather play in the park so i have to keep it balanced...  ;)

i dont usually fly to often these days but decided to get back into it today and took one of my harriers out for a spin round the rocky mountains, low level fast flying, and then i decided to follow a road in eastern france for no reason what so ever, i gave up after half an hour and found myself in germany, but it was good fun

During term time I normally get about 5 hours a week done. During holidays I can easily knock off about 8 hours a day without trying!


Is this all stunt flying ??? ::) ;D
