I’ve been flying now for almost 20 years and it may come as a surprise that, in all that time, I’ve only ever flown one aircraft that was younger than I am. Seeing as I just turned 40 a few weeks ago, that means every airplane I’ve flown, other than one, was built pre-1981.

Flying with LAMP has been no exception as the two aircraft they use were built in 1977 and 1979. As you look around, you may notice that there’s not many vehicles on the road from the seventies, so why are so many smaller airplanes from that era still in use today?
