Sorry Bill - I assumed your reference to the age of the aircraft would
have referred to the introduction of the aircraft - not the fact that
they are still flying (somewhere)...

Stoofs. The last were retired in '75 time frame (from VS-73).
They are still flying with Brazil and Thailand (at a minimum) making
it one of the longest serving military aircraft of all time. :-)
