Sixty years in service, Forty to go according to some.
My guess is somewhere there will still be B-52s flying well past 2060. Same as there will be C-47/DC-3s flying in 2040.
In my opinion, if for no other reason other than longevity, maybe the two finest aircraft ever designed.

Actually the Air Force has already said it is flying till 2040 or 2045. One date is for the BUFF and the other is for the 135/707 special mission aircraft, but I always forget which is which.
