Which brings us - again - to the question, what is "old?"

Back in the early 1950s, I spent two years flying R5C-1s. That's the
airplane the Army Air Corps mistakenly called the C-46, and flew over
the Hump during WW II. Half of our squadron's airplanes were painted
blue, but where the blue paint had worn off, we could see Army olive
drab paint.

The Army wore them out, no longer wanted them, and I suppose the Navy
bought them at a yard sale and gave them to us Marines.

I think that's one definition of "old."
