It amazes me that some aircraft - Douglas DC3 - are still going strong
at 80 years old, whereas others are dead in 15...

The DC3 survives because it had a simple, easily repaired, airframe that
was not subjected to the stresses of pressurization.
Is that the one they call the "flying coffin"?

Nah. That was either the U2 or the Lockheed lightning


Starfighter - German/Nato version.
