There are still plenty of pilots flying the "good ol' B-707" (aka KC-135).

And we're praying every time we climb on board that that POS 50-year-old aircraft doesn't kill us.

Remember...for some folks, these are the "good ol' days."

p.s. exactly what was the mortality rate for pilots in the "good ol' days" compared to now? Pretty damn high. I'll take good (almost perfect) odds on landing safely vs. sitting in a Nicotene-coated, uncomfortable, tyrant-run cockpit any day.
