Distance travelled in 2006

Earlier I had blogged on my hour accumulations for the 2006 year in my post titled "How much does a corporate pilot work". By just using some simple conversions and averages it would appear that the distance I traveled last year was as follows:

Turboprop Aircraft - 81,302 nautical miles

Jet Aircraft -
68,309 nautical miles ~Actually 83,830 nm

Totaling -
149,611 nautical miles ~Actually 165,132 nm

For a grand total of
276,780 kilometers ~Actually 305,494 kms

That is just shy of traveling around the world 7 times! This does not include any flights I may have done on commercial flights, but only the actually flights that I logged as a crew member. This was also a relatively slow year for flying at only 480 hours in the airplane, so it could be much much more. It will be interesting to see how this compares next year.
