Some had a coat of new paint, while others had new interiors or digital radios, but there was no hiding the fact that these aircraft were 30 years old and past their prime. Some had niggling maintenance issues that detracted from a good day’s flying, while others had faults that threw the day’s entire flight schedule into disarray.
