And I think I just became the maintenance administrator for a fleet of 74, mostly LLVs. At least mine are all the 1994 models so only 24 years old.
There is something great about their simplicity. I really doubt whatever replaces them is anywhere near as daily relialiable when they are 15 years old, let alone 30.
