Bombers of Theseus? As the article says, "little is left of the original craft except for the airframe"

I believe there is at least one son-father-grandfather trio of B-52 pilots. Possibly more than one.

> Lieutenant Welch, a pilot with the 11th Bomb Squadron, will become the third consecutive generation of B-52 flight officers in his family.

> Volkov is the first second-generation cosmonaut (and space walker), the son of cosmonaut Aleksandr Volkov.

> [Richard Garriott] became the second astronaut, and first from the United States, to have a parent who was also a space traveler.
