a combat aircraft that needs 1 hour of maintenance for every 18 hours of flight time.. the ratio would be the reverse... a piper bravo is considered two and ten for flight to maintenance times. no knock, your comments are usually spot on

One hour of maintenance for every 18 hours of flight time... Well there goes logic out the window, with your argument!

No he's correct, that's one majorly split hair!
