Isn't the B-52 from the 1950s? They're still in-use too.
And is projected to be in service for another fifty years, IIRC. Something to be said for not fixing things that aren't broken.
I mean, yes but also it's because they've already been built and are cheap to perform maintenance on. They've been replaced with the B-2 Spirit when it comes to most active bombing missions. The B-52 would likely only be used in situations where there's no threat from ground or air-based anti-aircraft weapons.
