The B-52 was born in 1952 and is expected to remain in service into the 2040's. It has undergone extensive upgrades including a major one in 2013 that involved a lot of electronics and software, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are still bits of 1950's software remaining in the 78 B-52H aircraft still operational.

How about the flight data processing software, NAS? Parts of it date from the 1960s, I think.

An alternative question would be what's the oldest piece of software we know of that's still running?
Open question to the list
