Oldest aircraft you’ve flown in?

1939 for me. Tiger Moth.

Delivered 1/1976 to SAS as DC-10 LN-RKB
Went off the end of the runway in JFK two weeks after I was born in 1984.
Converted to an MD10 and finally sent to the desert on 1/11/2023
I flew it in December MEM-GDL and it was parked less than a month later. Flew like it was on rails at 365kts at FL280 as requested by company to try and turn to make the sort.
Incredible machine.
 
First deployment in a Chinook…. It had started life as a 60s Vietnam Veteran.

I was flying it in Afghanistan in 2019.

I appreciates the fact that you appreciates the machines you operate. Thanks for sharing that history.
 
I flew a 1954 Piper Comanche for WX mod in 2007… it ended up getting grounded during the last month or so of my contract due to a cracked wing spar that caused the right wing to sort of oscillate when I added flaps.
