Airframe Hours
I'm led to believe ( and someone can correct me .. if this has changed ) .. that the ' life ' of ANY aircraft is based on it's ' airframe flying hours '.
A bit like saying ... ok ...this brand new aeroplane can be in the air for 50,000 hours .... after that .. IT'S GROUNDED ...regardless.
It is now deemed not to be ' AIRWORTHY ' for service.
Strip it down for serviceable parts etc ... scrap it ... or whatever.
Apparently ... it's all about the Airframe. ( or was )
