Longevity of Pinus halepensis


I was wondering if anyone coulod comment on the
typical longevity of P. halepensis?  Is it in the same
ball park as our native P. radiata,(70 to 110 years). 
I've got a project in San  Rafael, Calif. with 55 year
old specimens of both pines, and the Aleppo pines look
in much better shape than the Monterey pines for being
the same age, but was curious to know if they are also
any longer lived?  Anyone with actual experience with
Aleppo pines care to reply?
