7E7 will offer airlines a new airframe (they can't fly the same old

forever)

No ?

No. Aircraft have definite service lives. Surprised you did not know

What's the service life of a DC-3?



10,665 were built of which less than 400 remain in flyable condition

Does the 10,665 include the C-47 and Li-2?
