You know it's old when it still has ashtrays in the arm-rests.
mandatory to have ashtrays in the washrooms, in case someone cant resist a smoke, yes, the arm rest ones though are old.
Indeed.🙄
@@Hans_R._Wahl So?
wow that brings back memories man
I wouldn't know one way or the other. First and foremost, I don't smoke. It's a vile habit that ruins your lungs and causes cancer. Secondly, smoking is prohibited on passenger jets. Lastly, even if smoking was allowed and I was a smoker, I still wouldn't smoke in a pressurised chamber offering no ventilation with umpteen other passengers getting pissy with everything I do.
When you board a plane, glance at the cockpit, and see a flight engineer.
When was the last time you saw a flight engineer on a passenger plane?
The way I would be scared for no reason- lmaooo
@@bugproductions9050 I mean, these planes are so old they might necessitate an F/E, right?
@@merckmaguddayao6814 The two on their list which should use a flight engineer are the A300B2 and the 747-200. The "A300B4" of Mahan Air shown as number 10 is really an A300B4-600, more commonly known as A300-600, which has a two-crew flight deck, no flight engineer.
old or not a F/E is a extra brain that can save this plane in a emergency
Meanwhile IL-18 of Air Koryo be like: "Hold my Beer"
They aren’t that old... most of the planes on their fleet were delivered in the 90’s and 2000’s... some are older but not 50 year old
@@canadianaviator LOL. last IL-18s produced were in 1985 and that too in cargo configuration. Not sure when was the last passenger version produced. The IL-18 of Air Koryo was produced in 1968. I have flown the same and other soviet aircraft in 2013 in North Korea.
What about Ilyushin Il-62 and De Havilland DHC 2 Beaver of Kenmore Air?
The don’t even have beer
@Melokacool They don’t operate IL-18A/D anymore.
Ok, I need to make a proper aviation enthusiast’s perspective video with an actual human speaking and without editing mistakes.
There are some mistakes such as Delta Air Lines having already retired most of their older 752. Also Delta actually has 5 varieties of the 752.
This video also fails to mention many of very old MD80s that are still in service with some airlines in the Gulf and Carbine regions.
There are also some DC8s still in service which are far older than any aircraft shown here.
Also don’t forget some of the very old aircraft from Buffalo Airlines.
*Passenger planes* All remaining dc8 are freighters.
Hi Citrus! IM SUBBED
@@nickalejandre5073 I did some research after writing the original comment and yes only DC8 for eighteen left. However, I found some much older aircraft paritaulariy old Russian aircraft.
You made a mistake, what is a 752?
so...basic..it's Delta Air Lines...not Delta Airlines........now...on with your critque
ive been on 2 delta 757's they were so fun to be on, i miss that moment :) luckily they are still making em
The Boeing 757 was the rock star of jetliners. Not the biggest, not the best selling, but it held its own.
A narrow body (6 seats across, 3 on each side of an isle), it picked up where the 737 left off.
It had long-range capability with small jet efficiency.
It had larger engines that accelerated it quicker than those of the 737 thus enabling it to serve smaller airports.
This also made it a thrill to ride as its takeoff was very rapid, and it gained altitude quickly.
Pilots often describe it as the "Aston-Martin" of jetliners, with the manners of a Buick.
Airlines loved it because it was cost efficient, passengers loved it because of its prowess, and cargo carriers loved it because it was a workhorse that carried ample volume of freight and (again) was cost effective.
Both airlines and cargo haulers lived its ability to serve smaller airports.
What I can't understand is WHY Boeing discontinued it.
Today, many airliners have expressed interest in such a plane, because even the 737-900 can't quite touch it!
The 757 is a niche aircraft, it's wings are around 50 % bigger than the 737 NG wings, which means 737s have less drag and a better fuel economy on shorter routes. At the same time modern widebodies like the 787 or the A 350 also achieve 2,5 l fuel per seat and 100 km on longer distances, similar to a 737 max or a A 320 neo.
The 757 has more MTOW and more payload compared to a normal narrow body aircraft, and good hot and high capabilities, but for standard operation it's less fuel efficient than a standard narrowbody.
Now they partially get replaced by A 321 XLRs, which can't match the hot and high capabilities but which are more fuel efficient because they are the biggest 320 series stretch and stretches are always more fuel efficient per seat
All Hail the Mighty 757 The Race Car of the Skies.
Its also a beautiful plane
One of the oldest plane still in sevice is the Lockheed L-188, by Air Spray, its 63,9 years old!
What part of "10 Oldest Passenger Planes Still In Service" confuses you? Air Spray does not use that plane for passengers.
There's also DC-3s and DC-4s in service
I flew on the Venezuelan 737-200 when it was with Frontier back in 1983.
Quite a plane, it blew out an engine but is still flying, amazing.
38 years ago
Amazing video! Very informative. Safe travels! ✈️
0:55 did she really just say 747-400 when talking about an airbus A300? xD
She also said Airbus 757 200 at 3:25.
@@MirkoReckhard Bruh. She said the “first ever 757-200” not Airbus.
Thank you very much!😀👍
Buffalo Airlines: "Am I muskox meat to you?"
I remember De Havilland. I was able to "train" on a simulator in the 80s and 90s - my dad would sneak me in after hours. The Dash 7 was my favourite. I managed to land it well at around 7-8 years of age.
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
Buffalo Airways in northern Canada still uses DC3's for passenger/freight service.
They don't count. Buffalo Airways is technically a charter service. They don't do any flights on a regular schedule like the commercial airlines do. You have to charter them to get them to take you anywhere.
@@MrRobarino They don't count ??? There Still using them, But i Guess that doesn't count tho, right.
Great video. We still fly Dc3's in Colombia passenger flights in the amazon !
Sure, "passengers".
What about YAK-40's in Russia ?
Motor Sich Yak 40 definately up there!
@@TheVeenmeister Not only Motor Sich, a local carrier based in Vologda still uses Yak-40 as well (you can google "АО Вологодское авиационное предприятие" for more info)
Nice to see the clips of the jet2 b757 at leeds/bradford airport, uk. The 757s are a fantastic performance aircraft, the jet2 livery looks great on them
But, most uncomfortable window seats.
I am sure there is at least one DC9 flying passenger service in Africa, from the late 60's.
I remember when very few people flew and airports were small and you had ZERO security
You literally walked in, and walked to the plane, on the tarmac and up the metal stairs they pushed to the plane
I also remember when passenger trains ran EVERYWHERE
from any town to any town,
And I remember when there were NO highways
No cable TV, most people didn't have telephone, no air conditioner
3 TV stations, and they went off the air at 11:30 pm
No satellites
TV signals were carried by phone lines across the country
God, it was a great time
Cool video 😎 I've actually flown on the Jet2 757
Had some Dash 8-100 flights booked around the Lofotes, Norway, but Corona came and you know how the story goes... hope they are still operating next year :)
Oh man, I'd love to be able to fly in one of those Delta 757's one last time. There's nothing like a 757 takeoff (other than private or military jets) any more.
..Delta also acquired a large number of 757s through the Northwest acquisition in 2010.
Love that steep take off!
Taking off out of SNA (Santa Ana-John Wayne Airport in Orange County, CA) on a 757 is something special.
Go fly United's 757-300's, they still have them, I see them coming into O'Hare every day, a beautiful site!
@@dc10fomin65 ..I dislike O'Hare. Hated dealing with that airport since the 1960s.
I recall flying on DC9s....and they had the manufacturer date stamped on the entry door frame...some of those planes were built when I was a toddler and I was flying as a passenger on them in my early 30s.
Not as scheduled
How about the DC-3s from the 30s that are still in service?
Those don't do Passenger Routes anymore. How ever they do operate cargo sometimes.
@@ashton290 they do a lot of passenger routes. Buffalo airlines for example operates them
@@radustirbu5312 Buffalo stop doing the sked a few years back. They don't operate passenger services.
@@radustirbu5312Don't they do Cargo on those aircrafts?
There is still a DC-3 up in Canada 🇨🇦 running passenger services. This video is garbage...
Buffalo Airways still runs a passenger service between Hay River NWT and Yellowknife NWT. The plane is a DC3. That tops any of these birds..
Was going to say the same thing lol!
I also thought there were services to obscure out of the way jungle strips in Brazil operated by DC3s. Very poor research.
The list is about "10 Oldest Passenger Planes Still In Service" Buffalo Airways it a charter service. They don't do regular scheduled flights like a commercial airline does.
@@MrRobarino in the show "Ice Pilots" they talked of the morning flight to Hay River as If it was a scheduled flight
There are many old aircraft still in service, most of them are older than the ones listed here. There are still 727s built in the 1960s and 70s in service as well as 1960s era DC-8s. But you also forgot about the Convairs from Nolinor from the 50s and the aircraft from Buffalo Airways from the 40s - 60s. There are more but too much to list.
This list is about "10 Oldest Passenger Planes Still In Service". Yes, there are some older planes still in service but none of them still fly passenger routes on a regular schedule like the commercial airlines do. Charter or cargo services do not count
What you reported is true. I gave "The Buzz" a thumbs down for mis-statement of fact, sarcasm, and misrepresenting theirself as an authority on aircraft.
@@MrRobarino true*
Buffalo Airlines flies a ww2 vintage DC-3 .. as well as c-47 (although this one does limited passenger fleets)
I flew on one back in the early 2000's out of Inuvik diamond mine to Yellowknife . At -40 ground temp.
I guess they're not the oldest "Operating Jet Airliners" though the Dash-8 isn't strictly a jet either. Of course, the 727-200s are still in service due to the fact that they're operating out of airports with gravel runways. The newer 737s with their larger engines, would attempt to suck the runway through the turbine.
Yes but Buffalo Airlines isn't allowed to fly anymore passenger flights since 2015 I think
@@AlikeRomel Naw, they still have the daily DC-3 scheduled flight. They had their license revoked on a temporary basis, but got it back fairly quickly.
@@nonenowherebye They get their licence revoked every once in a while, doesn't stop them for long.
The #10 is narrated as a 747 but is visualized as an Airbus 300 which is also #5; both Iran Air
Don’t forget the M80 series in alligiant airlines. I flew in one of them and it does look pretty old. it’s loud too. I believe it was made in 80s to 90s.
They retired them
@@Lee247Jamaica when? I flew them in 2016.
@@GalenlevyPhoto I think they retired the last one in 2018.
There is a FedEx DC-10 that is 48 years old.
The title says passenger planes.
I missed the old concorde,it was so cool even if you look at her now
Flew in a SW Airline 737-100 in 1979...Sat in a reverse seat bench...
DHC-2 Beaver: hold my maple syrup
I like the included information on when these jets were "per-chased". LOL
Buffalo Airways in Northern Canada still flies passenger service with DC-3s.
The video says passenger planes so why not this a prop plane? Canada's Buffalo Airways offers some of the last regularly scheduled passenger DC-3 flights in North America. The DC-3 was introduced nearly 80 years ago, and hundreds still fly around the world.
Dc3 was introduced in 1936

@@MrRobarino
Good reply thanks
The Air Inuit livery is truly spectacular.
I traveled before to Kuujjuaq city in Quebec by Air Inuit before and it was really good company 😍
Didn't clarify until the very end that you were referring to jet passenger. For general passenger service, Buffalo's DC-3/C-47 and C-46 have to be at the top of the list
Did you check the title of the video lol?
I did ... If we are talking "passenger planes", the list is wrong. If it is only pressurized cabin jet propulsion aircraft it is much closer to being correct
@@doneckford1189 hmm, well it made perfect sense to me especially when I saw the thumbnail
The eastern 767-200 used in the diagram is actually a 777.
No 10 U are mixing A300 and B747 or am I wrong?... otherwise grear video again. Cheers.
You are right
I think in the video starting instead of Airbus A300 you told Boeing 747-400, plz try to rectify your mistakes.
this video was posted in my birthday
This oldest list is Hokum / Here is my list of the oldest airliners still in service:
#1 date is 1928: N879H, a Northwest Airways Hamilton H47, recently into museum at Spokane, Washington.
#2 date is 7/7/29: NC9645, a TAT, later TWA Ford Trimotor still operated by EAA
#3 date is 8/21/29: NC8407, an Eastern Air Transport Ford Trimotor still operated by EAA
#4-#100 A few Junkers Ju52 (1930- )are still carrying passengers.
A few De Havilland Dragon Rapide (1934- ) are still carrying passengers.
A large number of DC3 (1935- ) are still carrying passengers, some still in original airline livery.
date: 10/25/37: Eastern's DC3 NC18121 is living in Oregon near Portland, still in EAL livery. N18121 c/n 1997 is a DC-3-201. Eastern Airlines ship “341” is not the oldest but it does have more time in the air than any other DC-3, 91,400.2 hours.
At least 2 Constellations (1943- ) are still hopping passengers in Europe
Sav-A-Connie may still be hopping rides in their Seaboard 1049H, N6937C, Connie painted in TWA colors
Three Convair 580 (CV240 of 1947) still operated by Air Chathams in New Zealand
Eastern's original 1952 Martin 404 (N450A) is operated by Reading Museum on occasion
Eastern's 1958 DC7 N836D, last known in Charlotte.

Over 50 years? Well that's a way to look at it, as de 2 oldest airlines KLM and British Airways (merger from several airlines) are 101 years old.
AN-2, my blind prognose )))
The saha air 707 retired a few months ago, my dad was on the last flight
Few months before the video Air Serbia retired its 1986 733s.
I am assuming this is scheduled airlines. I know you can still charter still flying DC-3s.
If you do the required maintenance, and the overhauls the planes are completely safe and will fly forever.
I flew on a pax MD11 and MD80 oldest planes ive been on
There where days when Boeing used to build great airplanes
787 wants to know your location
@@guayaquilander Its. A. Joke.
777-300ER, 747-8F, 777-200LR are among the highest quality planes out there still in production
"Where"
@@rafastonks7687 No.Not.Really.
You missed Air Zimbabwe 767-200 and 737-200. Also some of the 737-200 flying in Canada.
Well, she did include two 737-200s flying in Canada, for Inuit Air (1978) and Nolinor (1974). Are there older ones that you know of?
There are still DC-3s flying in Canada!
I have to disagree with the number one spot. The Douglas DC3 or Dakota, first flew in the early 1930's and production ended after WW2. There are many small airlines especially in South America still using DC3's to fly passengers as well as cargo to remote parts. The DC3 can land on virtually any surface and conditions which makes them a favourite for remote locations. Columbian Airlines still have one DC3 flying in this role. There is an American company who refurbish DC3's and fit them with turboprops, these DC3's are stripped down to the last rivet and are so well rebuilt the FAA acept the airframe to have done Zero ours.
Facts
I ain’t going to use dash 8 air Inuit again until Renew it 🤧
There are Tupelov prop planes still serving daily flights in Kazihstan
A well maintained aircraft can fly indefinitely. What forces their retirement is the economic feasibility in continuing to maintain it and fuel efficiency compared to acquiring a newer plane.
The reason the old 737-200's are still flying in Canada is because their engines are of a smaller diameter which makes them far less fuel efficient, but the smaller diameter is good for the often unpaved gravel runways it operates into.
Doesn’t New Zealand airline Air Chathams still fly Convairs? Those must be at least 50-60 years old, no?
Yes, but being retired over the next few months. Services being switched over to Saab 340s and ATR 72s. Air Chathams still operating a few Fairchild Metroliners (ZK-CIC, CID and POF) on scheduled services, and also a DC3 (ZK-AWP) on select scheduled passenger services over the summer months. Air Chathams definitely should be on the list
I flew DELTA 757 LAX to OGG ( Maui )
Eastern hasn't been around for a long time!!!
I work at Cyvo and we have 3-4 737-200 nolinor and air inuit each day :p
I've seen several older planes still in service, but okay.
Just pulling you up on the data you are displaying about the aircraft. The Dash 8 - 100 is not 53.61m wide (which incident is the same length you displayed for the A300B4) it is 25.9m. Looks like you transposed a number.
Old is gold
What about the Iran Air 747-300. The last commercial -300 and one of the few remaining classics?
Best passenger Aircraft ever made is Boeing 747-200 reliable with great legrooms and comfortable seats 💺 those days are gone
… unless you can fly in a A 340, 474-800 or a A 380.
@@julosx What's a 474-800?
Modern airlines would find a way to squeeze extra seats even into this airplane :)
Forgot North Korea? I boarded a civilian An-24 in 2018 and according to wikipedia, those are still in service.
audio is all messed up in this video
You forgot the DC 3. Many still in service.
Those are mostly cargo aircrafts.
when the chocks are still on for the b737
Delta has over 100 757s, and 16 737-300 planes that are much newer and have the bigger capacity. They want a replacement with its range and passenger capacity which neither Boeing or Airbus offer. So they will fly them as long as possible until they cannot afford to do so anymore as they are not really replaceable right now as the Airbus A321 has the passenger capacity but lacks the range so they are not a direct replacement.
I still see MD80/90 aka DC-9.
Classic Wings of Duxford in Cambridgeshire whilst not being an airline do operate de Havilland Rapide airliners from the 1930's.
*737-200 is the oldest passenger aircraft*
Air Chatham's DC-3: Am I a joke to you?
No, that's retired, only doing charter flights and scenic tours but not regular arliner service.
I was hopping to see the 727.
number 10 is a a310 right? Because the a300 is still very popular with cargo airlines such as fedex, dhl and ups
He was talk about oldest planes by manufactured date in commercial passanger service
Those Canadian dash 8s were good aircraft
They are still around
Of course Delta makes this list. ;-) They have a long and well-earned reputation for flying planes for a very very very very very long time.
By the way, early model 737s are very valuable for remote airfields. Their low bypass turbofan engines and short landing gear make them well suited for gravel airstrips.
It helps that they have their massive JetOps building in Hartfield-Jackson where they can fully rebuild planes and engines!
Think that is why Canada have tons of these planes still in operation
They are also equipped with gravel kits that protect the engines
Wingspan for the DH8A is 25.89m
Long after the last "old" plane on this list is scrap DC-3s will still be flying passengers and cargo.
They also operate even today in conditions that would destroy modern planes from jungles to the arctic.
As charter service*
I guess the DC-3 doesn’t exist anymore
Many of them are still flying in South America for local freight services.
Wait they do exists still, always has been
What about YU-AND and YU-ANI ? You forgot both planes in your listing
I thought there were a few Douglsd DC 3 in Service in South America??? And also a few Boeing 727?
But they're not used in passenger services. The same goes for the Skybus Jet Cargo's DC-8-73F.
What about the planes in the north korera airline
The lunch customer of the dash 8 100 was olympic air
The lunch customer? Lol
I'm sorry that I'm from Greece
Okay so if you own that 747 200, what happens when the flight engineer is in the hospital getting an appendectomy??? I mean how many people are certified to be a flight engineer on that aircraft considering most of them were scrapped 20-25 years ago, then probably the few remaining 747-200 were scrapped in the 2008 recession.
Actually both pilot and flight engineers are trained on both roles incase one of them is incapacitated. So if the flight engineer passed out one of the 2 pilots will have to monitor the engineer’s panel. This is what my relative told me as he is a former F/E on both 747 classic and DC10
what about the jet2 737-300?
"boeing 767-200" shows a 777-200
meanwile the dc-3: am i a joke to u?
Don't want to be 'that guy', but there are still dozens of DC-3s flying commercial service that are more than 70 YEARS OLD. Not talking about the DC-3 airframes with retrofitted turboprop engines which are also a thing, but those with original radials are still in use in Alaska, Canada, Africa... all the really rough and more 'primitive' airports where you can't operate modern airliners out of. There are also DC-4s still flying similar routes and are also more than 70 years old.
I could be wrong but that's the oldest continuously operational passenger aircraft type that comes to mind
Passanger service as commercial? Just to know
And what about IL-18 of Air Koryo?
I hope they have modern navigational equipment and new seat belts. I look at the age of the fleet before booking. I think these would definitely deter me. Back to KLM/Virgin Atlantic.
they will do
What I don't understand about the 757 is Boeing claims to have discontinued it because airlines weren't buying them anymore. Yet airlines with the 757 are reluctant to discontinue the use of them. So why would the airlines stop ordering the planes they can't get rid of? It makes no sense. Perhaps Boeing should put it back into production.
1:30 check out the tail action on this plane
At 4:30, the Boeing 757-200 Single Aisle type is noted as having passenger capacity of 224, whereas the Boeing 767-200 Wide-bodied Twin Aisle type is noted as having passenger capacity of 216. Really?? They must have the most enormous luxurious seats to fill the space available! I am sorry I have never travelled on one!
You're wrong about the Airbus A300, it was built in 1972, not 1988. Plus Douglas DC-8s are still flying
As far as I know, only one or two DC-8s are still flying and they don't carry passengers. About the A300, the first ever ones were indeed manufactured in 1972, but not Mahan Air's.
You need to listen kore closely.
7:50, still beautiful after over 40 years.
How many flight cycles are left on these old things? Are these old planes made so damn well you can just keep flying them without a single worry the body is on its last legs?
Goonybirds being well overengineered and not pressurised will still be working when many of these jets are scrap metal. And current Airbus and Boeings as well.
You don’t talk about the DC3 and it’s one of oldest planes still in service.
