In 11 months of instructing, I flew 1600 hours of dual. One month, I broke 200 hours (204 if I remember correctly).

In 2007, I had the opportunity to fly with a Navy E-6B (TACAMO) crew in the desert. I talked to the pilot who relayed to me that his schedule was a 12-hour sortie, every other day, non-stop for six months. On his redeployment flight back to the States, he would surpass 1000 hours in six months. I was impressed.

203 hrs. All flight time followed by about 90hrs the next two weeks. After those six weeks I quit lol. Couldn't find a job after college with the market down. First thing that came along was flying radio-relay for the oil companies after hurricane Rita/Katrina tore up the shores. We'd take off out of La Porte, just south of Houston, and fly out over Louisiana then you'd just pull it back as far as you could while staying airborne and do racetracks all up and down the coast at 11-12k. You'd get about 6hrs per fill-up in the 172, aux tank, or 4-5 in the pipers before you had to start working your way back to a field. It was extremely exhaustive work but learned a lot about coastal flying. The owner of the planes was a total jerk and did very shady maintenance so most quit after a couple months.

My best record so far part 121 was 46hrs flying and 113hrs credit a few months ago I don't think I'll be able to pull that off again though

136 hours of dual in one month was my record. That was plenty.

187 hours of pay credit in one month was my record at the airlines (I flew about 65 hours of block time).

The last two years I've averaged 150 hrs a year...

Maybe a little, and no. All the full timers were scheduled for 140+- hours per month, and there was often a ton of overtime.
