When you look at the Service life of our aircraft, the Navy
Has us beaten hands down with the active service life of some of their ships..

HMS Caroline built in 1914 and fought at the battle of Jutland, only retired in march 2011... Next to Victory that surely has to be a record, I can't imagine any of our aircraft ever reaching 97 years in Service.
