Thanks Pat Back in the '60s, SAC was very proud of one of the Looking Glass KC-135's that was the high time aircraft in the USAF at something like 2700 hrs. That was about 75% of the time a 707 would get in one year. Move forward to the 90's and the AA 767's going from DFW to Europe and back daily were averaging about 20 hours aloft out of each 24. On a slightly different tack, I recall a 727 with about 27000 hrs total and one of the three engines was original and had never been off the airframe. -- Ron |
