Lufthansa has an Iron Annie that flies under German skies during summer. All are scenic flights, mainly taking half an hour to an hour, but occasionally they also sell the positioning flight to the next city.

Not exactly an airline operation, but I bet they are more often on time than many of the flights in Africa.

We are running an 1952 B-18, former RCAF Expeditor 3tm......not so old......

The funny thing (sorry if a bit out of threath) came this summer.
We received inside a box from USA "new" carburator parts, wrapped in "1944" paper journos
On the box seal, was also written "1944".
Even got a brand "new" cylinder with "1942" engraved on the base.

Looks like WWII spare parts are still flowing out strongly....
