I didn’t say anything about those first birds, read my post again...I was talking about the current birds and I don’t recall dragging history into it...but if it satisfies you, so be it.

I’m not going to argue semantics or look at squirrels.

Here's what you said:

The U2 isn’t 50 years old, those birds were built in the mid 80’s and have about 80% of their airframe life left in them.

I was just replying to what you wrote.
