That is probably the most robust and safe airplane ever designed and built.

I thought that was the DC-3?

Apples and oranges.
DC-3 is a good aircraft. But different
economics and use.

B777-XXX won’t last as long due to economics.
it does cost a little more to run and maintain,
and it is just a bit bigger.

I personally think the C-130 will out live the DC-3 in years of use and production.
