Wonderful aeroplane - can't be many other types that have been continuously in production in more or less the same form for 50 years or more.
Not many in civil service I know, but the Lockheed C130 Hercules has been in continuous production for 62 years and still going. It is without doubt the greatest airlifter ever built, bar none.
