How old are Tiger Moth Aircraft.

The one I brought to the breakfast fly-in yesterday was
bult in 1945.

I'm headed out to Thun Field today in a Tiger that was built in 1939.

'Course, it's a little like that axe my granddad owned for eighty years.
Only had the handle replaced three times and the head twice.

Roger Freeman has a JN-4 Jenny, originally built in 1917.
That makes it about 97 years old.

It still has most of the original steel fittings (scads of them!),
but none of the original wood.
