That 18,000 hour plane made me feel a lot better. At slightly less than 6,000 hours, I guess mine is just getting broke in.

I have a buddy with an early 180 that has a little over 2000TTSN
and he had some wing skin cracks in the area mentioned.
Makes one wonder what it was used for over these past
50 or so years....

There is a 1700 hour 170b in the prairies that is as stock as I've ever seen. Original paint and interior.
As for high timer, there is a 150 for sale in Ontario with 24,000 hours! It still looks "tight"!

Hey guys just to bring up the subject on TT again. I stoped by an talked to my old instructor and he is working for a patrol co. They are now flying 172 and 182. They were working on a few in the hangar that had an amazing amount of time 16 & 14 thousand hrs. out of their planes the average time in 05 was 12515 tt plus they have flown 800 hrs since then. They work with Cessna and developed a special 12000 hr inspection on the 210. which means we probably don't need to worry about our plane for a while. They fly approx. 24000 hr yearly thanks Ron

I am not an authority on the subjects of cracking skins ,however,I know the adaptation of floats to any aircraft will place excessive strain on the structure and skins of support.
The only recorded time of structural failure of Cessna 195 aircraft in flight was two seperate cases where the aircraft had at one time been on floats
and converted back to wheels.It was for that reason an AD was issued to
strap on two steel bars (19 lbs.) onto the crossover spar of all C190 & C195 aircraft.
