This Is The Oldest US Air Force Aircraft Still Flying

The United States Air Force (USAF) has the world’s largest fleet of aircraft at its disposal, estimated to number between 5,000 and 5,500 aircraft. This forms the largest chunk of the total inventory of aircraft under US military forces, which is believed to reach up to 14,000 airframes. From the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor to the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker, the USAF’s diverse arsenal of aircraft is a key component of US force projection.
