So if this frame was at 19,408 cycles and 125,209 hours as of May ...
Based on my Google-Fu (
https://downloads.regulations.gov/FA...tachment_1.pdf), it looks like the 767-300 LOV is 75,000 cycles and 180,000 flight hours. (Was that extended?)
Obviously it'll never come close to the cycle limit.
That would "only" leave 6 1/4 years of 24x7x365 flying left for this bird.
Assuming it flies 12 hours a day, every single day, 365 days a year, that's 12 1/2 years.
Plenty of life left in this 'ol gal.
Only question is whether the repair is economical or not.
