    You think that 727 you flew in last was built in the 90s? Heh, you don’t want to know how old they are. I’ll just say this, those passenger jets cost millions of dollars and airlines don’t like to throw things out. Ever.

    A private twin engine plane could literally be built any time in the last 50 years, could be brand new too. That doesn’t mean it isn’t airworthy though, being old wouldn’t make it unreliable.

      Man I flew on a DC-10 or MD-90 direct flight across the country in 2015.

      I can’t remember what happened at landing but it wasn’t fun .
