The B52 Stratofortress will one of the longest serving aircraft in the Air Force.
B-52s are periodically refurbished at USAF maintenance depots such as Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. Even while the USAF works on the new Long Range Strike Bomber, it intends to keep the B-52H in service until 2045, which is 90 years after the B-52 first entered service, an unprecedented length of service for any aircraft, civilian or military.

There have been at least a few third-generation B-52 crewmembers. Soon there will be fourth-generation aircrews on them.
