A couple of weeks ago I listened to a podcast that happened to be the 100th episode of that particular aviation podcast. The speakers on the podcast related some of their 100th aviation events – their 100th flight, 100th hour of cross-country flying, etc.

That got me thinking about those events in my flight career. Most of them happened a while ago, so I dug out my logbooks and looked them up. Believe it or not, I still have the original logbook that recorded my first training flight in August of 1968 – while I was still a cadet at the USAF Academy. My how time flies…

Here are the ones I could think of and then find in my logbooks:
