20 years from the 707 to the Concorde. 12 YEARS to get a 777 to go from a 777 to ... a 777.

And yet the 777 is already 20+ years old, with the 737 coming from an airframe dating from 1957. Ironically the original 707/717/727 have better crash statistics for their flight servicing times than the newer planes do. And that's with all the extended avionics bullshit in the planes you see today.
