    It’s nice to see these old planes flying but at the same time maybe it’s a bad idea to be flying 80+ year old aircraft. Surely, they’ve earned their retirement by now.

      Most of these aircraft share pretty much non of their material with their original selves. Unfortunately it’s rarely a mechanical failure that causes a crash.
