You are completely falling apart on that one. The KC-135 predates the
Buff.
And it looks like they may outlive them if things keep going like they
are.

I don't think that's correct. The B-52B, the first operational model, was
delivered in 1955. The KC-135 didn't come out until 1957. The last B-52
model, the 'H', was delivered three years before the last KC-135 came off
the line.
