I tend to only get 1-2 "good" days a week of quality flying time. (6-10 flights)

I also try to take 1 day to travel (reasonable distance up to 100 miles) to meet with guys with high level of skill so I am constantly improving myself.

Many other days, I will spend time going over the machines and testing at the local high school baseball fields or in my front yard.

In my book, sim time does count. As long as you use it in a positive way. But there is no true subsitute for burning fuel!

Sad to be seeing the long summer days starting to get shorter
