Default Van's fleet how many flying hour???

I was wonder how many hours have been flown with the entire Van's fleet.

Here in Chile is just 3 Van's aircraft flying and since the first one started flying(2 year ago) we have logged more than 1000 hours.

So with almost 7000 planes out there, how many hours have we logged.

My guess
3-3.5 Million hours (~7000 planes X ~400-500 hours per plane)
that is 600 million miles or over over 3 round trips to the Sun and back.
