All airplanes are aging, you idiot.
The 707 has been doing it longer than most. John Travolta's was
built in 1964.
And the AWACS 707s are going to be in service post 2037.
They'r enot actually 707's. They look a bit like them, but they're
substantially different airplanes.. Boeing's own designation for them
was 717, in fact.
The predecessor of the 707 was the KC-135, the 717. The AWACS 707s are
indeed militarized commercial 707s.
