I'm just sort of curious, Mike. What is there on a 1958 airplane that is
going to break after 500 hours flying it that isn't going to break on a 2008

This is a good point. 18 years of ownership have taught me that airplanes
from the 70s/80s have about the same maintenance requirements as planes from
the 50s/60s. Once a plane is more than a decade old with a few thousand
hours on the clock, maintenance requirements are more affected by how it has
been treated, rather than its chronological age.
