OMG the M-2 .50 cal is nearly 90 years old !!! Yes, but it doesn't have to take off and land.

And the Abrams M-1 is 1960’s technology. It flies, or seems to.
But those C-130’s are remarkable aircraft as are the B-52’s. Much more manuverable than one might think.
OIF is definately putting a strain on everything.

(Pelosi Democrats agree with Al Queda more often than they agree with President Bush.)
The other side of the coin is that for Buffs to be flying at 45 years old would indicate a good design and very capable maintenance personnel.

Yeah, and chances are that .50 cal wasn't made that long ago either!
