I just know it's a lot... Always makes me laugh though

I started out with a pen-and-ink ledger ~1971, and typed everything into an Excel spreadsheet ~2014 ... haven't updated the paper version in a long time, but the book is in a plastic bin along with all my ticket envelopes (thru ~2016) and boarding passes with the aircraft registration noted
the main spreadsheet tab has running totals by airline, equipment type/model, routes -- city pairs, airports (latest info
here), direction -- and the like; there's another tab tracking tail numbers by type by airline; a third has last flights on a model/type (relevant to
the "Obsolete Aircraft" thread)
currently at 2775 flights (2409 commercial) and approaching 2.7M total miles flown
