The Martin B-57, although modified, is still in use. By NASA, not the AF.

It's been around longer (slightly) than the B-62.

Edit: I remember (I think) that the Civil Air Patrol still uses DeHavilland Beavers in S&R. They would be older. I know, the CAP is not AF, an auxiliary, I think.
We thought we were pretty important.
