That doesn't narrow it down a lot Herr B, those old workhorses only stopped working a few years ago! Not bad for an aircraft who had its first flight in the closing months of the 1940s! I think the only other aircraft who can make that kind of claim now is the B-52.

EDIT: I stand corrected, apparently the legendary Bear has also been going since the fifties, as has the C-130 and KC-135
