I would love to find out what is the single oldest aircraft flying in the USAF today. I bet it is one of the B-52s unless they have a C-47 left.

There is a Constilation EWAC in Great Falls MT that flies. It is down for cowlings right now but it is a flying bird.

there are still B-57's, well WB-57's that are still being flown. That pre-dates the B-52 by a few years.

That is cool, but I was wondering about actual active duty military service. Something that could be used in a war. I know the USS Constitution is considered a commissioned Navy ship but I don't think it will ever be used in a patrol.
