The Oldest Boeing Passenger Jet In Active Service Has Been Flying For Over 45 Years

Boarding a jet aircraft that’s older than you might make some passengers nervous

Not for a while now Jalopnik (ow, my back).

Everyone here is so arrow-minded!

I’d never noticed the single wiper blade on these; my son believes it was standard

ETA: our ride today, a Bajaj Qute. These are locally nicknamed “Ferrari.”

[FGD135]

Yup. That’s a W 201 with the Einarmwischer. From autumn 1984 on it came with a little eccentric thingy that makes the wiper blade move up and down as well as left to right, wiping 86 % of the windscreen.
Unlike certain ugly “let’s re-invent the wheel” EV “trucks” which need not be named.

We’re all a little high-strung these days.

True, but let’s not quarrel about it.

[MerelyGifted]

All these puns are making me quiver.

[MerelyGifted]

As long as no one’s getting the shaft, as my BF said.

[FSogol]

Bullseye. The puns are really hitting the target.

Einarmwischer

Not the W 201, but this newer Mercedes uses the same type of wiper. Shown in action. As the blade enters the center of the windshield, it does a little scrubbing motion.

[hecep]

We aim to please!

oh boy oh boy oh boy

Camper gets stuck at the 11foot8+8 bridge

Everyone can play!

[MerelyGifted]

I’d thought of posting that vid here earlier, and I’m V glad I didn’t.

[wazroth]

I finally set up an alert on the YouTube channel, so hopefully I’ll be able to jump on it in the future.

[MerelyGifted]

It’s been quite a while since his last one.

Actual tar (like the coal tar that was one of the products of gasworks in the good old days) has just the kind of hydrocarbon mix (hello benzene, my old friend) that makes it both toxic and carcinogenic.
