World's Oldest Airworthy Jet Returns To America
This North American F-86A Sabre built in 1948 is back on U.S. soil after a 22 year hiatus in Europe. The airplane is the only surviving "A" model rescued from a scrap yard in the '70s and is the oldest flying jet in the world. (planelopnik.com) 기타...

There are much older jets than that still flying, such as de Havilland Vampires.
Of the approximately 7 flying Vampires, all were built after 1948. On 6 June 2009, the world's oldest flying jet, a Vampire built in 1947, formerly of the RCAF and owned by the Wings of Flight Air Museum in Batavia, New York, crashed during an emergency landing at Rochester International Airport. F-86A S/N 48-178 is now the oldest flying jet in the world.
Thank you for the correction.
