No surprising... A Very Very Old a/c.... Would like to see some pics of the plane... I wonder if they blew another Tear Strip Panel? again.. Going back to crappy maintenance.
I thought US govt mandate of US registered craft meant after it had 60,000 flight cycles it was to be retired?..you would think this 1 is dang close, if not over.
Well let's do the math. According to FlightAware, This a/c has done anywhere from 5 to 8 cycles a day. Averaging 6 for the sake of argument that's 2190 a year and 50,370 in 23.5 years. At 8 cycles per day it would be over 68,000. Less maintenance days etc. getting close is right.
