    I don’t know, but I do know some military aircraft have expected service lives measured in decades, and that it’s common to keep them around decades longer than expected.

        Good point. I’m sure the F-15s the U.S. is flying today have been upgraded quite a bit from the 70s.

        I’m thinking if someone had been able to take down F-15s in, say, 1995, the U.S. probably wouldn’t still be using them, or at least not using them in the same way.
