Senior Citizen of the Air


Everts Air Cargo DC-6, Everett, Washington, USA
This Douglas DC-6 is over 60 years old and still flying the rugged Alaska wilderness. Despite these airplanes spending more time in the maintenance shop than flying (reportedly 12 hours of maintenance for each flying hour), these aging giants outperform more recent aircraft.
