yup - you need some higher categories when dealing with RV'ers Phil!

For me, it's about 250 - 300 hours per year on my -8. Since Louise and I got married, some of my flying has transfered to the -6, and I find that living at an airpark, I fly about 260 days/year. I fly more often (almost every day I am home), but for shorter times (a good 25 minute acro session after work really helps put the world right!).

...to 50-75 hrs. per year. When I retire and spend (at least) winters somewhere beside the NW I hope it will be more.

About 150/hrs year, 4-5 times/week.
The airport is on my way home from work so many times I'll fly for about 15 mins. Great therapy.

I had to vote 50-75 hours because my flight time was limited by a panel upgrade and way too many business trips out of the country. Now that the panel is done, I would expect over 100 hours a year.

Default Sometimes more, sometimes less

In the last 15 years (1st flight Oct '95) I have flown 1116.6 hours tach time.
Thats 75. hours per year average, but I have had some 150 hour years and some 36 hour years
