Not terribly exciting, but I am stoked about it. My "Hobbs" clicked over to 500 during a short flight today. I have never seen a Cessna 206 climb so fast, up and down from 13,000 in .3! Maybe the mountain wave and the atmospheric conditions had something to with it. Almost 1500 - 2000 fpm climb all the way up!
 
nice job man, i'll be there soon. Sadly reaching 500 hours just doesn't have the same excitement it did 2-3 years ago.
 
Nicely done! I don't remember exactly when I hit 500 hrs, but I was flying home from an overnight trip with my wife for our 16th anniversary when my "Hobbs" tripped 1000 hrs. When I hit 1500 I splurged on a bottle of Moet & Chandon and cooked the best meal I could (centered around lamb chops). I even affixed the sticker from the top of the foil wrapper in my logbook. It's the only "scrapbook" kind of thing in there, but to me it was a huge milestone, and I wanted to highlight it.

I was most excited with my 1000 hour mark, When I hit 2000 it didnt do anything for me :mad:
 
Congrats! I remember hitting my first 500 and feeling a great sense of accomplishment. Keep up the good work!
 
Congrats on 500TT. Enjoy 1000TT as that is really the last benchmark that has any meaning.

Scratch that... with new ATP regulations coming the new magic number will be 1500TT.
 
congrats on reaching the 500!

Its amazing how fast somethimes things go, or how slow-it can be cycles of both.

No kidding...I remember sitting on 470-480 hours for months before things picked up a little....it's back to slow again now. God I hate this economy
