minus-squaregeekworking@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 年前There are stories of B52 pilots flying the same plane as their grandfather. Not just flying but still in active military service. I suspect that 99% of the parts have been replaced through maintenance or upgrades, but technically, it is still the same plane. With parts and maintenance machines can last virtually forever.
