I mean, the average life span for people is like 75. The DC-3 is pushing 90 years old and is still being used today.

The A380 is a few days older than me

Heck, I bet some DC-3s could see 150 years of service. They’ve already made it this far and now there’s companies converting them to turboprops and putting newer avionics in them.
