That is a lot of flying. Sure shows commitment. You need more legs out west, Branch Ranch will be waiting for you.:D
 
Dang, 11.4% of your flight time was in actual IMC. I just looked at my logbook out of curiosity and my total is 3.9%. Somehow it felt like a lot until just now. :)

I did 391 hours last year... but I fly for a living!
 
Least amount of flying for any year since I built it, by a lot. 18 flights, most less than an hour, none longer than 1.5 hours, 14.5 hours total. 25 landings. Landed at only 3 airports other than my home base. 5-1/2 month gap at one point. This year better be better, but haven't flown yet, been icing conditions to the surface for a week.

Love flying my RV-14. I flew around 110 hrs, 37 airports, 8 countries. This year it's time to head down to Texas, California and up the west coast.

Local only this year

All vacations in 2022 were by big tube aircraft or automobile. I flew my RV at least every week but stayed (very) close to home in the ~7,500nm I traveled for the year. Second images zooms in with my home airport (1H0) in lower right and my departure path out between class D (KSUS) on left and class B (STL) on right. Folks in St Charles MO must have been pretty familiar with my RV overhead, especially since much of that flying was under Class B so 1000-2500 ft AGL.

that was my longest Tour of 2022... and took 132 hours.
Total RV flying for 2022, slightly more than 450 hours, 238 take-off/landings, including more than one trip to Scotland, the UK, Spain, and more of this boring European stuff :D
 
Dan wins!!

What he wins, I dunno, but that's a pretty impressive map. I still have to map my travels for '22, but mine will be lame in comparison since I only did 89 RV hours.
 
Nowhere near as impressive as Dan's, but here's what I did in 2022. I just zoomed in on the U.S. There was some international flying to Europe, Asia, South America, etc but that was all work stuff and definitely not RV6.

I might be dating myself here, but this map reminds me of the classic arcade game Missile Command! It was built with a wonky program called routebrowser that I've not yet figured out, so I'm not sure how to exclude the Gulfstreams, SR22s, etc. Probably wouldn't be much of a map anyway since I didn't purchase the -6 until the latter portion of the year.

It'd be neat to show the actual aircraft track, but I'm not sure how one would do that for so many different aircraft types. #goals
