The life of a Flyboy

I want to point out a fun link available in the right column QQFlyboy's Logbook. I've been keeping track of the places I've been since June, 2006 thanks to a free website called FlightMemory.com. The link takes you to my public page, which lists numerous facts, including how many miles I've flown, how many hours I've been in the air, how many times I've circled the globe and travelled to the moon (figuratively of course, based on miles flown). It also shows maps of the US and the globe, and the routes I've flown.


Fast facts
Miles: 946,150
Globe trots: 38
Lunar visits: 4
Flights: 670
Airports: 56
Countries: 25



What blows me away is all that was accomplished in a little more than two years. I wish I could go back and input every flight I've ever been on/worked since I became a flight attendant in 1999. The numbers, I'm sure, would be explosive. How about my co-workers that have been flying for 40+ years? It'd be staggering.

Although I can access the past three years of flight records, the information only includes flight numbers, not city pairs flown. Flight numbers frequently change and can be reassigned, so looking up flight # 2231 today would probably yield completely different city pairs than from three years ago. If I had an OAG guide, I could certainly do it, but that would be time intensive. Hey, if anyone wants to buy me an OAG guide for 2005 and 2006, be my guest!
