I know EXACTLY how old B-52s are. I flew them.

Comparing an aircraft to a car is not even close to reality.

B-52s have gone through 5 separate complete upgrades of their avionics and electronic warfare systems.

They get an entirely new skin every 8-10 years.

They’re on their 4th set of wings.

Aircraft are designed that, if maintained, to have indefinite lifespans.

There’s not much of the original B-52s, other than the basic fuselage structure, that HASN’T been replaced and updated. . .

Thank you sir, for this info.

I appreciate this new knowledge.
