Just a little over 50 in the 170A, a few more in a Super Cub on floats. About half what I had hoped for, but the death of my father, a very extensive annual (refurbished the instrument panel) and a broken valve spring returning from Oshkosh took the 170A out of action for a month.
Hoping to make it to Alaska with the 170 next summer. Fairbanks, Galena and Nome are on my "to do" list.
Happy New Year folks,

I only had 34 hours in the 170 but I was down for 6 months waiting for new exhaust. I hope '07 brings many good fly days!

My goal was to break 100 hrs in the 170 but a move to a new town and commuting to another town for work got in the way and I wound up with 70.3 all in the 170 this past year. Not counting the thousands of hours flying MS Flight Sim.
I will break the 100 hr mark this year! I already have 2.8.

About 65 hours since June 30 after completing overhaul. Probably 2-3 hours January-March on the old engine (I wasn't very trusting of that engine after my unplanned landing in July '05; see
http://cessna170.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2620 ).
I started 2007 off with an hour yesterday, the first since before Thanksgiving.

The year was a bit funny , lost the last half of August and most of Sept. due to broken pipes in the basement .... then into annual Nov 6th to Dec 12th. About 106 in the 170 and 15 in others
Dave - you mentioned Brooklyn NY. Is that to AIR STATION Brooklyn, as they only serve Helos now or was it a fixed wing trip to JFK? Rumor does have it that NYPD maintains one runway at AIRSTA Brooklyn for bringing items in to the meusum, and for the CG AIR AUX / CAP etc. Note sure though, last time I was their with the CG it was only stocked with Helos.
Lots of history there (Floyd Bennet Field), also if you are low and slow you can still see the ends of the runways on the south side of Staten Island below Fort Wadsworth.
Sorry .... I'm rambling

Flew just over 200 with the new factory reman in my 55 180 this year. Flying to work make so much sence on so many levels. About 25 in an A-36 and 25 in a 182. The few hours in charlie maples stagerwing and some time in a R22 were the highlights.

A total of 310 hours for me in 2006 in the Ragwing - all VFR. Just earned my license in Sep-05 at age 48 and stepped into 4046V three days later. (Made a total 439 take offs and landings at 82 airports in the Ragwing to date.) Hoped to make a minimum of 100 hours per year, but job duties expanded allowing me a solid excuse to fly more. I live in the Houston area - oil & gas drilling and production operations take me to the ArkLaTex and Central Texas. Trained in a Citabria. Earned a total of one hour on tricycle gear (172) doing hood work, so I don't have any real experience outside of tailwheel. People keep asking me when I'm gonna upgrade??? Faster would be nice, but I've grown pretty attached to the old bird.
