If you flew for a whole year continuously, then you would accumulate 8,760 hours of flying time!

While this isn’t physically possible in one go, it is a remarkable number of flying hours, even over many years.

So, huge congratulations to Ascent Rotary Wing Maritime Rearcrew Training Officer, Mark (Molly) O’Leary, for achieving this notable milestone.

He is pictured being presented with a commemorative print by his line manager, Andy, our Chief Maritime Instructor, and celebrating with colleagues at RAF Valley.
