Air Force s regularly flies planes that are up to 62 years old, built in the 50s. Good maintenance and high quality, experienced pilots can keep planes flying for a long long time

there is a huge difference between the professional who flies for a Living and the guy who only goes to football games on weekends.
Father in law, recently retired AF pilot ~40 years, told me he Probably won't fly again since he believes time away is eroding his skills.
I'm sure AF not getting into a plan w a weekend warrior pilot

As others have pointed out, that's at the post office right on the corner of Feu Follet and Verot.
The description of a wooded area is a little misleading, it's literally a a tract of trees 200 ft x 800 ft between the post office and Walmart.
