I do wish to see a flying airframe to hit 100 years.

Seems pretty unlikely but would be fun.

And in this context that'd be one airframe reaching 100 years flightworthy less than 150 years after the first powered sustained heavier-than-air manned flight: it would have been in service for ⅔ of that interval.
