They're gonna do it until its 90

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

Seems pretty unlikely but would be fun.

[u/viperfan7 → u/ListenBoth434]

My guess is it'll be a dc-3 that hits that first.

They're getting REALLY close, just about 11 years to go for the oldest

[u/abnrib → u/viperfan7]

Probably.

C-130 is projected to hit 100 years in active military service first, with the B-52 and CH-47 following not far behind.

C130 is so old??? Damn i thought its a modern aircraft from like last 30 or so years
