Ageing aircraft?
As others have said “ …and damned lies.”Unless there’s more facts and a much longer timeline we are only guessing. As regards that old saw about ageing aircraft, beloved by the CASASTROPHE, we know that some accidents have been RAAUS registered aircraft and I think latterly one each a Cirrus and a helicopter.
Personally I wouldn’t swap my two pre 1970 aircraft to feel better about safety, more likely the reverse in reality.
My question would be just what does age matter? Arguably overhauled engines are more reliable than in the past and there’s lots of young airframes in terms of hours in service, including mine.
Besides I’d be thinking most fatalities occur due to the pilot, not the aircraft.
