Yesterday EAA's 1929 Ford Tri-Motor was flying around here as the pilots did their annual recurrent training so that they are all ready to fly it on its summer tours and during AirVenture. And I'm 100% sure this is not the oldest aircraft to be flying.

So long as the maintenance is top notch, and the pilot(s) are current in type, the planes can go on flying for a long time.
