Plane was 47 years old. Is that normal?

Horrifying, one would think that big donor they have could pay up for the coaches to have decent planes to ride in.

Oddly enough the mens plane that crashed 10 years ago was donated by a booster

Aircraft last much longer than cars. For obvious reasons, the preventative maintenance on airpl
anes is insane. Plus the only real abuse an airplane takes is on landings. I'm a pilot and regularly fly an airplane built in the 60's.

We have B-52 bombers in front line service that are older than that.
