I retired as a USAF pilot in 2007 after 24 years. I am one of those guys who made a passion into a job and the passion lost it's sparkle. I have done that with a couple of things.
Anyway, I am now getting the urge to fly again (my USAF fini flight was Dec 2004 and my last assignment was a non-flying job). I have managed to keep around aviation in that the company I now work for has it's own jet, hangar, and pilots; and they let me manage that along with my other duties. Our company pilot even took me on a pre-season elk scouting trip in his Stinson 108, and that has set the hook for me.
I never tried to keep a nice logbook of all my military time. I'd just kept track enough to verify what was on the Flight Records printout they gave me once every few months. I recently bought a nice logbook and my idea was to consolidate everything on one logbook.
The military tracks time differently than civil aviation and I have found a mil to civ conversion. My question is should I use the straight up totals from my USAF flight records or should I add the .2 per sortie to make it more like civilian aviation time?
