No I think I refueled 3x today. It was 8 hours spread over a 14 hour day, so I had some downtime between flights

That's good. Still though, 8 hours in one day is a lot.

I did a 14+ hour day one time...hauled 27 loads of skydivers in a 206...most of the loads were to 13000.  After I parked the airplane and walked into the hangar the DZ manager handed me a Heineken.  I twisted the top off and took a long drink, noticed her looking at me funny.  It wasn't a twist off top.  :D

That is a lot.

My record is only 7 hours, and that's only because the airplane was slow.

I gotta say Tupac...I'm jealous.

I remember what it was like learning to fly....the challenge..the excitement.

Good times, enjoy them.

Got my 40 under the hood/actual tonight, and did a practice checkride. My instructor says his only complaint is I do parallel entries to the hold and instead of going straight to the VOR when I turn inbound I try to intercept the inbound course.

If I remember right as long as you make the turns in the correct direction you can do an octoflugeron for the PT and still be legal.
