Sourly 6 hours flight time is not significant wear.
It does mean significant operational downtime: https://www.technology.org/2023/01/02/did-you-know-f-16-fighting-falcon-needs-17-hours-of-maintenance-for-every-hour-of-flight/
You might be misunderstanding that statistic.
That's something like, this Squadron had n hours flight time and consumed n*17 hours maintenance.
That doesn't mean a 1 hour flight increases required maintenance by 17 hours.
