As a navigator in a constituted crew on one aircraft type, I shared a cockpit with the same pilot for 6 years during which we flew 4111 hours together. Might this be a record for a pilot/nav combination? Does anybody know of any other duo that might top this?

Which one of you worked out how to open the canopy after 6 years of trying?

With some pilots I've known, that would be 4110 too many.

700 hours a year. I know of one crew that changed aircraft type and remained together for two hours with just the copilot on the first tour becoming captain on the second. 2,000 hours would be more likely.

4111 hours with a Nav? There’s a guy with more need of a TRiM session than any other pilot in history.....

What type of aircraft? That sort of hours total sounds like transports but I didn't think constituted crews existed in that world. Loads of hours for V Force.
