The youngest B52 is older than me. And I am on my second midlife crisis.

********************
Understand. I worked at an airline in 1963-65, when I was 21-23, that flew DC-3 aircraft with placards showing mfg. dates around 1935. We had several special flights each day that took military recruits from Dallas to Fort Polk LA, and those little workhorses flew through the violent thunderstorms in East TX and LA. .......There was a lot of turbulence and barfing, but the planes always got them there safely. ....The old aircraft like the DC-3 and the B-52 were built by skilled workmen.
