I talked to a B-52 pilot at the air show in NO last year from Barksdale and I think he said almost all or all the current B-52s flying are 1970s and later airframes. Still pretty old but it’s a lot better than 50s/60s lol.

How can this be true if the last airframe for that aircraft rolled off of the factory assembly line in 1962 ?
