This is not my usual weird question thread. I am just reporting for no reason at all that, last weekend, I logged my 1,000th hour of flight. I had to retrieve our 1941 J-3 from the farm for its annual inspection last weekend. It was 22F on the ground and not warmer at 5500 MSL (3000 AGL, give or take), over an early blanket of snow the whole 1.4 hours. I landed in 12G19 winds almost directly across the runway, which was made more challenging by not having flown the Cub nearly enough in the past 3 years. It's the same Cub I logged my first hour in back in November 2014 (just an introductory flight, with my next lesson being in August 2015) and my first solo in October 2015.
I now have 74 hours in the Cub, 200 in my RV-14 (I crossed that threshold the prior weekend), and 195 multi. I have 117 hours of dual received, 817 hours cross country, 97 hours night, 40 actual IMC, and 498 hours solo. I've logged 1140 landings, 118 approaches, 20 spin recoveries, and a bunch of other random things I keep track of for some reason. I have logged time in 20 different tail numbers. I've landed at 156 different airports in 20 different states. I've flown the Fisk arrival to a successful landing twice, and more laps around Green Lake than I could count if I wanted to.
