THINK TANK: CONSULTANT
I don't want to go too far OT but the point is? Yes, there are a number of aircraft at the 80 year mark that are still flying. A testimonial to the outstanding maintenance they've been given and the sturdiness of the airframe.
B-52s will be flying well into the late 2040s possibly 2050s.
And updates. Lots of updates.
For example, the B-52s are getting a comprehensive engine update that will make them even more formidable.
