C-141 a/B a total slacker compared to almost *any* commercial aircraft.

In 1993 we did a study using AFMC and NTSB/FAA flying hours/calendar hours
to build reliability and maintainability models . . . the absolute *worst*
commercial liner was at least a full order of magnitude higher utilization
than the absolute *best* utilized military aircraft.

Well, o.k., 7.3 times higher; not quite an order of magnitude but pretty
damn high

What ac has spent the greatest % of it's life in the air- excluding the

that crashed on it's first flight.

I'll vote for the C141A/B. I know that when they were new at
Charleston, we used to turn them around in a couple of hours and send
them back to SEA.
