Say my DC8 needs a new engine, where do I get it from? Are those old inefficient engines still in production? Are the scrapheaps my only option? How long have those old engines been produced?
Similar question for 'younger' old aircraft like the DC10, L1011. Are those engines still being made? What about other parts, like brakes. Who still manufactures those old obsolete designs to original secification? Must get quite expensive..
Maybe a daft question, but it's been bugging me for a long time
