We have B-52s being flown by the grandsons of the first, original pilots that flew them. In one case of which I am aware, the grandson is actually flying the exact, same tail numbered, aircraft. The B-52 is the Colt 1911 of the military aviation world... It just keeps on working.

While sitting at my desk at work some aircraft flew over making an unusual noise. Went outside looked up and it was a B-29 Superfortress. Yes, from WWII.

They’ve had airframes replaced. Also better engines and avionics.
Not sure about this 737.

They have replaced the spars and other main components at least once in their lifetime.
