even modernized, those planes are old. OLD old. They all used to be packed with vacuum tubes sort of old. The last one ever built left the assembly line in 1962. 64 years ago.
I mean even so we should’ve had them all replaced not only by now, but with some regularity. Every moving part should’ve been inspected she tested before this flight. Ffs, we still have 58 in active service!
I’m not saying they’re perfect, but they are doing something right, and more care should’ve been taken before a test flight with civilians.
