Almost out of production doesn’t mean near extinct.
There’s still plenty of them in service.

But it’s set to be replaced by smaller, more efficient jets like the 787 or whatever Airbus will make. The jumbo jet is dying.

older planes are quickly replaced with boring modern fuel efficient twinjets
It kind of is...
Airliners are adopting the 787 as a replacement to the ponderous 747 for trans-continental flights.

747 will still be flying in 20 years.
Planes listed above won’t see the next decade.

There are still 11 L10s out there. They must have next to no support. Lockheed pretty much washed their hands of them about 15 years ago. The L10, while awesome was also basically a flying conglomerate of cracks and corrosion when they left the main commercial fleet over the last decade.

Do you know if the RAF Tristars are included in this number? They’ve been divesting themselves of them IIRC.

No they aren’t, all civil aircraft, but I I wouldn’t be surprised if most of these aircraft are currently parked. The only one flying for sure is the stargazer
