Debris of plane with 49 people on board found in Russia’s... #russia
~50 people are dead. Plane – AN-24. Designed in the 60s. This particular machine was manufactured, most probably, in the 70s. It is a miracle that this plane was still flying.

Birds live 10-20 years.
The oldest recorded flamingo lived to be 83 years old.
exuPathetic, planes can do up to 116 years and counting Wikipedia
Concidentally the first flight across the English Channel happend with this plane model 116 years ago tomorrow.

To be fair they have had extra special attention and are barely planes by modern standards
Old cars still kinda work
Unless you’re trying to compare a flightless bird to a flying machine
Flamingoes are not flightless…
