The oldest aircraft still in operation

Today we will talk about the planes that have más añthe the «más old» and that toúIt is still in operationón flying around the world.

Many times on social networks one reads comments that X Aerol planesínea «They're Old» or if you avión is bad because «is old», but ¿cuándo is considered an avión old?

as we have seen, jamáyes it should judge a birdón because of his age, factor that is not decisive to consider it good, safe the beautiful, it's simply a número, in aviationóThere are no other factors.

Cycles and flight hours, are the núgroupers that matter and that determineáin haste withándo an ancestorócan't fly. For example an avión which was built in 1980, but it has few flight hours and cycles, couldíto continue flying until 40 o más años, while an avión of the 2010, in a period of 12 años ya podríto have fulfilled his life úuseful flight cycles and hours, ¿interesting, right?

as we see, everything isá in the use that the aerosolílines facing the planes and in their responsible maintenance, not on the date of your first flight or age.

  1. There are some clamps that can fly 25, z.b. the D-EBMX at BMW, the oldest German aircraft still capable of flying (1927) or the D-EJOL at the LSG Hanns Klemm in Eutingen making its first flight 1934 had.

  2. Hello there! very good report. At 2020 was in Ezeiza (and then left for Peru) and Antonov AN 12 by Cavok Air with 49 year old. It passed very high by my city (Córdoba) and I felt its noise, although I couldn't locate it visually.

  3. Uuuuhhh friend thanks. Well I think I've flown in the 737-200 of Venezuelan and conviasa….I had already noticed the wrinkles…
