...... for Your replies!

When a new fighter is designed there?s always a mention of calculated service hours after which its flying carreer is over.
If I recall correctly the figures are something like 2.000-3.000 hours.

As I understand Your replies, there is no such calculated limit for a rebuilt (zero houred) warbird.
The owner can enjoy it for the rest of his or her life but, can also mess it up in a few years due to negligence.
It won?t be "worn out" by flying it within its design limits.

Coming to think of it, there must be lots of Cessnas and Pipers that have thousands and even tens of thousands of hous logged but, maybe that?s a different matter?
