After a pretty epic month's flying and a really close battle for most of it to be top of the pile, Brian finally broke free from the chasing pack and was the pilot with the most legs in May, ending Bill Gardiners reign of dominance from the previous months.
The numbers from May were as follows:
Brian Hankey 117 Legs
Paul Hale 99 Legs
Terry Ward 98 Legs
Bill Gardiner 90 Legs
Mark Stead 65 Legs
Jacob Miller 53 Legs
Martin Zelikovitz 52 Legs
Joe Aoun 51 legs
David Kingsley 45 Legs
Daniel healy 47 legs
Big congratulations to Brian for coming out in first place! Myself,Terry and Bill pushed you hard but just couldn't keep up in the end!!
It's great to see some different faces in this month's top 10, great work Jacob,Martin and Joe!
Total number of PIREP'S filed in May was 1542 which sees an increase of 150 legs over the April figure and our 2nd best month ever.
In terms of equipment used in May, No real surprises by the DC3's total domination due to the fact that loads of new historic routes were introduced at the beginning of the month.
A huge thank you to Roger for his time and effort in putting these routes into our schedules.
The top 5 Equipment types flown were:
DC-3, 322 Legs
737-800, 121 Legs
A320, 93 Legs
747-400, 90 Legs
777-200, 65 Legs
Simulator versions used in May:
FSX 779 Legs 50.5% of all flights
FS9 713 Legs 46.2% of all flights
P3D 41 Legs 2.7% of all flights
X-Plane 9 legs 0.6% of all flights
A great month all round, lets have an amazing June as well!!
Best Regards,
Paul

There's some great new routes in Indonesia that are perfect for island hopping in a DC-3. I'm going to set some time aside and do a bunch of them.

I have just added some short workings around Europe.
Amsterdam-Doncaster-Manchester-Liverpool v.v
Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Essen-Leipzig/Halle-Prague v.v
Amsterdam-Essen-Dusseldorf-Koln v.v (Essen - Dusseldorf is like 10nm and Dusseldorf to Koln is like 24nm)
Amsterdam-Koln-Frankfurt-Mannheim-Basel-Dubendorf v.v
All of which are very short sectors. May just fly them for the next month and rack up about 400 flights, beat that Bill

Brian's a very hard competitor when it comes to number of flight legs I see
A huge well done to all of you!!
With the DC-3s being used a lot, we may need to hire more maintenance crews to keep an
eye on the fleet
Congratulations again guys!

Well done to everybody! I can't believe I did (for me, at least) 65 legs in May. I got somewhere close to Bill! Well done to Brian, I can see some fierce competition coming up in June...
