They issue these up to 10,000 hours. Just got the info last week as I exceeded that mark in May last year. Contact is Kelly Shiple at kelly.a.shiple@lmco.com

Congradualtions hercrat, 10,000 hours is major milestone. how many years you been flying?

[Indian head]

You'll need to shout - after 10,000 hours in a grumbly he won't be able to hear you!!

It took 5 years for my father to gain 5,000 hours on a C-130E (Flight Engineer) I can imagine it would take at least 10 years to get 10,000 hours.

Sorry for the delay in replying.....been flying relief into Haiti.
Started flying in 1974 and been flying the herc since 1983. All commercial.

Hercrat,

I see from your profile that you are from Edmonton (me too) What commercial organization are you flying Hercs for?

[hercrat]

I was flying for NWT Air when First Air purchased the operation from Air Canada. Worldwide Herc ops but before that I was on the DC-3's.

One of the many flight operations my father was involved with during his 5,000 hours on the Herc.
