10,000 hours is a standard military life for an aircraft, it is less than you would expect from an equivalent civilian aircraft because of the battering that we tend to give them completing military ops.

However, I think as long as the Design Authority are happy then this life can be extended indefinitely - no doubt at some ridiculous cost.
