Prior to 1965, the B-52 was obsolete. But then came Viet Nam and the venerable old bird proved herself as a conventional bomber. Currently, the B-52 is enjoying a resurgence as a cruise missle carrier. They may still last for a few years if the wings don't keep falling off while they sit on the ground.
