  1. 1903 - 1940's - 2001. by polar+bear · · Score: 1 · on Planning For 80-Year Old B-52s
    Is it only me that thinks there is something kind of fun about the timeline here?

    These planes (and the Canberra, for that matter) have been flying for more than half the history of powered aircraft flight!

    The Wright brothers first flew in 1903. Some of the Canberra airframes are 1950's vintage! They still do photo rec' at 70K feet.

    I assume some of the B52 airframes are 1950's too.

    PB.
