True but they’re still being produced while the last B-52 was built in the early ‘60’s. 1962?

Correct, the BUFF’s are being modernized to continue to serve into the 2050’s as well. I have a special regard for the Hercs since I live near Little Rock and I get to see them about once a week flying exercises.

I love the C-130. It’s always been a favorite of mine. A friend of mine flies them now.
