I just read in a magazine that the B52's have been flying now for 60 years. And there are still 74 of them in service in the AF. Over 700 of them were made. They have cases where the third generation of pilots are flying them, ie grandfather, father and son are or were B52 pilots.
I flew as a crewman in a Navy P3 in 1961 and those things are still flying too.
