The year is just about done for, so it’s time to look at how much flying we all did. My two trips across the pond helped to offset the lack of flying toward the end of the year. What did your year look like?

What is a non-directional route?
That means that you flew it either way. So I didn’t fly Long Beach – Phoenix 3 times, but instead I flew it twice and Phoenix – Long Beach once. But since I’m calling it a non-directional route, I combine them into one.

It’s amazing what a new position will do to one’s flying. However I already have almost 50% of my 2011 miles booked for just Jan/Feb of 2012. Now we’ll see if it drops off or not.

This non rev king barely flew, a couple short hops to SAN and OAK a RT to BWI, one trip to OGG and one to LIH.
But, I did fill in my Boeing card by getting on a 707 (KC-135R) PHX-ABQ-Andrews AFB R/T.
I miss the days of getting the rare birds on my list, L1011, 747SP, Tu134, Tu135, IL 62M, Fokker F50, F70, F28, F100, MD-11,DC-3. Had a chance at a YS-11, but the airline was so dodgy I flew Lao Aviation instead..
Only tough ones now for me are DC 4,6,7,8, 747-100 -SR, Yak 40
Seems the only way to get the rare birds anymore is to fly those dodgy airlines in other countries. I guess it’s all a risk reward question, huh?
Phuket Airlines was so bad that the Laotian Airline looked better. They also had several 747-100’s as well, but, it was a miracle there was no crash.
