Logbook - old dog - old tricks

I recently filled my fourth logbook. It was a Standard Master Pilot logbook. Not sure how many pages total but way over 200 with 18 lines per page. I'm not bragging about the hours because there's a slug of people that have much more time than me. This is my 49th year flying & it's all been GA - so not too bad.

I decided a few months to go back to being a CFI full time. Suddenly I was filling my logbook much faster. I've done some instructing in the last decade but most of my time has been putting around in my 182.

I'm a big time Foreflight user & sign my students electronic logbooks all the time. I kept asking myself electronic logging or stay with paper? Since I knew my logbook was about full a decision had to be made.

Yesterday, I ordered another Standard Master Pilot logbook. AT 65 years of age I doubt I'll fill this one but, I do have a 93 year old friend that still flies his Cardinal RG almost daily, so you never know.

After thumbing through my logbooks & reliving so many great flights with funny remarks I decided to support the paper industry. I look forward to filling the pages.
 
That is the nice thing about the paper logbooks. A tangible reminder of good times. I can see why you just want to stick with it.
