skydiverek 63 #1 March 26, 2006 Who holds the record for the most tunnel time hours? And how many??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 March 26, 2006 I don't know of anyone keeping a "most hours" tally. It would for sure have to be one of the rats at SV or a HALO instructor from Yuma though. Back to the point though, I doubt it would be possible for any one person to claim any "record" with a clear conscious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VivaHeadDown 0 #3 March 26, 2006 Wayyyy too many considerations, for example (but not limited to): Most time standing on the net Most time hopping from door to door Most time with feet in the door and hands in the wind Most time holding onto someone as they try to track into a wall Most time blah blah blah I guess the point is, logging tunnel time is difficult for anyone who might be in contention for this award. It'll be an instructor at a tunnel that's been working for a good part of their life. It'll be thousands of hours of flight time (personal and trianing), tens of thousands of instructing time (if not more), and the cummulation of every bit from a third of a second to continuous hours. I think the most fun question would have to be... HOW MUCH MONEY HAVE YOU PERSONALLY SPENT ON TUNNEL TIME IN YOUR LIFE? [just organizing time doesn't count, the money had to come out of your pocket, account, or some other nondescript location] Don't Confuse Me With My Own Words Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skykittykat 0 #6 March 27, 2006 I would say, at a guess, Eliana Rodriguez and Thomas Hughes, plus the "older" SVO tunnel rats, like Joe, etc, and Ray from SVA. Airspeed must be up there as well. My 45 hours is chicken feed to all of those guys!!! Liz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fast 0 #8 April 6, 2006 QuoteMy best educated guess is John Suiter. See this thread at TunnelFlyer.com for details! 20,000 hours is just... wow.. Look at that in a sense of the current cost of tunnel time: 20,000 x $700 = $14,000,000..
