The oldest aircraft on this site, and the one with the worst record on it. Two 767s were flown into the World Trade Center. Its deadliest accident, Lauda Air 004 in 1991, was traced to a thrust reverser and fixed across the whole fleet — which is what a forty-year-old record actually buys you: four decades of finding the failures, one at a time, and engineering them out.
