You know it's old when it still has ashtrays in the arm-rests.

When you board a plane, glance at the cockpit, and see a flight engineer.

Meanwhile IL-18 of Air Koryo be like: "Hold my Beer"

Ok, I need to make a proper aviation enthusiast’s perspective video with an actual human speaking and without editing mistakes. There are some mistakes such as Delta Air Lines having already retired most of their older 752. Also Delta actually has 5 varieties of the 752. This video also fails to mention many of very old MD80s that are still in service with some airlines in the Gulf and Carbine regions. There are also some DC8s still in service which are far older than any aircraft shown here. Also don’t forget some of the very old aircraft from Buffalo Airlines.

The Boeing 757 was the rock star of jetliners. Not the biggest, not the best selling, but it held its own. A narrow body (6 seats across, 3 on each side of an isle), it picked up where the 737 left off. It had long-range capability with small jet efficiency. It had larger engines that accelerated it quicker than those of the 737 thus enabling it to serve smaller airports. This also made it a thrill to ride as its takeoff was very rapid, and it gained altitude quickly. Pilots often describe it as the "Aston-Martin" of jetliners, with the manners of a Buick. Airlines loved it because it was cost efficient, passengers loved it because of its prowess, and cargo carriers loved it because it was a workhorse that carried ample volume of freight and (again) was cost effective. Both airlines and cargo haulers lived its ability to serve smaller airports. What I can't understand is WHY Boeing discontinued it. Today, many airliners have expressed interest in such a plane, because even the 737-900 can't quite touch it!

One of the oldest plane still in sevice is the Lockheed L-188, by Air Spray, its 63,9 years old!

ive been on 2 delta 757's they were so fun to be on, i miss that moment :) luckily they are still making em

Buffalo Airlines: "Am I muskox meat to you?"

I flew on the Venezuelan 737-200 when it was with Frontier back in 1983.

0:55 did she really just say 747-400 when talking about an airbus A300? xD

I remember when very few people flew and airports were small and you had ZERO security You literally walked in, and walked to the plane, on the tarmac and up the metal stairs they pushed to the plane I also remember when passenger trains ran EVERYWHERE from any town to any town, And I remember when there were NO highways No cable TV, most people didn't have telephone, no air conditioner 3 TV stations, and they went off the air at 11:30 pm No satellites TV signals were carried by phone lines across the country God, it was a great time

I remember De Havilland. I was able to "train" on a simulator in the 80s and 90s - my dad would sneak me in after hours. The Dash 7 was my favourite. I managed to land it well at around 7-8 years of age.

What about YAK-40's in Russia ?

I am sure there is at least one DC9 flying passenger service in Africa, from the late 60's.

Buffalo Airways in northern Canada still uses DC3's for passenger/freight service.

I recall flying on DC9s....and they had the manufacturer date stamped on the entry door frame...some of those planes were built when I was a toddler and I was flying as a passenger on them in my early 30s.

Thank you very much!😀👍

Oh man, I'd love to be able to fly in one of those Delta 757's one last time. There's nothing like a 757 takeoff (other than private or military jets) any more.

Nice to see the clips of the jet2 b757 at leeds/bradford airport, uk. The 757s are a fantastic performance aircraft, the jet2 livery looks great on them

How about the DC-3s from the 30s that are still in service?

Amazing video! Very informative. Safe travels! ✈️

Buffalo Airways still runs a passenger service between Hay River NWT and Yellowknife NWT. The plane is a DC3. That tops any of these birds..

Great video. We still fly Dc3's in Colombia passenger flights in the amazon !

There is a FedEx DC-10 that is 48 years old.

Buffalo Airlines flies a ww2 vintage DC-3 .. as well as c-47 (although this one does limited passenger fleets)

Had some Dash 8-100 flights booked around the Lofotes, Norway, but Corona came and you know how the story goes... hope they are still operating next year :)

Flew in a SW Airline 737-100 in 1979...Sat in a reverse seat bench...

There are many old aircraft still in service, most of them are older than the ones listed here. There are still 727s built in the 1960s and 70s in service as well as 1960s era DC-8s. But you also forgot about the Convairs from Nolinor from the 50s and the aircraft from Buffalo Airways from the 40s - 60s. There are more but too much to list.

Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.

The #10 is narrated as a 747 but is visualized as an Airbus 300 which is also #5; both Iran Air

Don’t forget the M80 series in alligiant airlines. I flew in one of them and it does look pretty old. it’s loud too. I believe it was made in 80s to 90s.

I missed the old concorde,it was so cool even if you look at her now

DHC-2 Beaver: hold my maple syrup

Cool video 😎 I've actually flown on the Jet2 757

Buffalo Airways in Northern Canada still flies passenger service with DC-3s.

The Air Inuit livery is truly spectacular.

The video says passenger planes so why not this a prop plane? Canada's Buffalo Airways offers some of the last regularly scheduled passenger DC-3 flights in North America. The DC-3 was introduced nearly 80 years ago, and hundreds still fly around the world.

I traveled before to Kuujjuaq city in Quebec by Air Inuit before and it was really good company 😍

The eastern 767-200 used in the diagram is actually a 777.

I like the included information on when these jets were "per-chased". LOL

I think in the video starting instead of Airbus A300 you told Boeing 747-400, plz try to rectify your mistakes.

I've seen several older planes still in service, but okay.

I flew on a pax MD11 and MD80 oldest planes ive been on

Over 50 years? Well that's a way to look at it, as de 2 oldest airlines KLM and British Airways (merger from several airlines) are 101 years old.

This oldest list is Hokum / Here is my list of the oldest airliners still in service: #1 date is 1928: N879H, a Northwest Airways Hamilton H47, recently into museum at Spokane, Washington. #2 date is 7/7/29: NC9645, a TAT, later TWA Ford Trimotor still operated by EAA #3 date is 8/21/29: NC8407, an Eastern Air Transport Ford Trimotor still operated by EAA #4-#100 A few Junkers Ju52 (1930- )are still carrying passengers. A few De Havilland Dragon Rapide (1934- ) are still carrying passengers. A large number of DC3 (1935- ) are still carrying passengers, some still in original airline livery. date: 10/25/37: Eastern's DC3 NC18121 is living in Oregon near Portland, still in EAL livery. N18121 c/n 1997 is a DC-3-201. Eastern Airlines ship “341” is not the oldest but it does have more time in the air than any other DC-3, 91,400.2 hours. At least 2 Constellations (1943- ) are still hopping passengers in Europe Sav-A-Connie may still be hopping rides in their Seaboard 1049H, N6937C, Connie painted in TWA colors Three Convair 580 (CV240 of 1947) still operated by Air Chathams in New Zealand Eastern's original 1952 Martin 404 (N450A) is operated by Reading Museum on occasion Eastern's 1958 DC7 N836D, last known in Charlotte. www.airhistory.net/photo/40135/N450A

this video was posted in my birthday

Few months before the video Air Serbia retired its 1986 733s.

There where days when Boeing used to build great airplanes

Didn't clarify until the very end that you were referring to jet passenger. For general passenger service, Buffalo's DC-3/C-47 and C-46 have to be at the top of the list

If you do the required maintenance, and the overhauls the planes are completely safe and will fly forever.

I flew DELTA 757 LAX to OGG ( Maui )

The saha air 707 retired a few months ago, my dad was on the last flight

AN-2, my blind prognose )))

Eastern hasn't been around for a long time!!!

I have to disagree with the number one spot. The Douglas DC3 or Dakota, first flew in the early 1930's and production ended after WW2. There are many small airlines especially in South America still using DC3's to fly passengers as well as cargo to remote parts. The DC3 can land on virtually any surface and conditions which makes them a favourite for remote locations. Columbian Airlines still have one DC3 flying in this role. There is an American company who refurbish DC3's and fit them with turboprops, these DC3's are stripped down to the last rivet and are so well rebuilt the FAA acept the airframe to have done Zero ours.

Doesn’t New Zealand airline Air Chathams still fly Convairs? Those must be at least 50-60 years old, no?

There are Tupelov prop planes still serving daily flights in Kazihstan

I am assuming this is scheduled airlines. I know you can still charter still flying DC-3s.

No 10 U are mixing A300 and B747 or am I wrong?... otherwise grear video again. Cheers.

I ain’t going to use dash 8 air Inuit again until Renew it 🤧

Old is gold

Best passenger Aircraft ever made is Boeing 747-200 reliable with great legrooms and comfortable seats 💺 those days are gone

I still see MD80/90 aka DC-9.

A well maintained aircraft can fly indefinitely. What forces their retirement is the economic feasibility in continuing to maintain it and fuel efficiency compared to acquiring a newer plane.

when the chocks are still on for the b737

I work at Cyvo and we have 3-4 737-200 nolinor and air inuit each day :p

I was hopping to see the 727.

Wingspan for the DH8A is 25.89m

Forgot North Korea? I boarded a civilian An-24 in 2018 and according to wikipedia, those are still in service.

Classic Wings of Duxford in Cambridgeshire whilst not being an airline do operate de Havilland Rapide airliners from the 1930's.

*737-200 is the oldest passenger aircraft* Air Chatham's DC-3: Am I a joke to you?

You missed Air Zimbabwe 767-200 and 737-200. Also some of the 737-200 flying in Canada.

You forgot the DC 3. Many still in service.

Long after the last "old" plane on this list is scrap DC-3s will still be flying passengers and cargo. They also operate even today in conditions that would destroy modern planes from jungles to the arctic.

"boeing 767-200" shows a 777-200

Of course Delta makes this list. ;-) They have a long and well-earned reputation for flying planes for a very very very very very long time. By the way, early model 737s are very valuable for remote airfields. Their low bypass turbofan engines and short landing gear make them well suited for gravel airstrips.

I guess the DC-3 doesn’t exist anymore

I thought there were a few Douglsd DC 3 in Service in South America??? And also a few Boeing 727?

Those Canadian dash 8s were good aircraft

What about the planes in the north korera airline

What about the Iran Air 747-300. The last commercial -300 and one of the few remaining classics?

1:36 looks like a dash 8

audio is all messed up in this video

1:30 check out the tail action on this plane

Delta has over 100 757s, and 16 737-300 planes that are much newer and have the bigger capacity. They want a replacement with its range and passenger capacity which neither Boeing or Airbus offer. So they will fly them as long as possible until they cannot afford to do so anymore as they are not really replaceable right now as the Airbus A321 has the passenger capacity but lacks the range so they are not a direct replacement.

The lunch customer of the dash 8 100 was olympic air

Just pulling you up on the data you are displaying about the aircraft. The Dash 8 - 100 is not 53.61m wide (which incident is the same length you displayed for the A300B4) it is 25.9m. Looks like you transposed a number.

what about the jet2 737-300?

meanwile the dc-3: am i a joke to u?

5

number 10 is a a310 right? Because the a300 is still very popular with cargo airlines such as fedex, dhl and ups

I love the boeng 737 300/200 models,

saab 340b still in service in australia

I have flown on a delta Boeing 757 200

Don't want to be 'that guy', but there are still dozens of DC-3s flying commercial service that are more than 70 YEARS OLD. Not talking about the DC-3 airframes with retrofitted turboprop engines which are also a thing, but those with original radials are still in use in Alaska, Canada, Africa... all the really rough and more 'primitive' airports where you can't operate modern airliners out of. There are also DC-4s still flying similar routes and are also more than 70 years old. I could be wrong but that's the oldest continuously operational passenger aircraft type that comes to mind

Why are planes called air buses now...

Okay so if you own that 747 200, what happens when the flight engineer is in the hospital getting an appendectomy??? I mean how many people are certified to be a flight engineer on that aircraft considering most of them were scrapped 20-25 years ago, then probably the few remaining 747-200 were scrapped in the 2008 recession.

What about the venerable DC3s out there?

How many flight cycles are left on these old things? Are these old planes made so damn well you can just keep flying them without a single worry the body is on its last legs?

And what about IL-18 of Air Koryo?
