There are much older jets than that still flying, such as de Havilland Vampires.

Of the approximately 7 flying Vampires, all were built after 1948. On 6 June 2009, the world's oldest flying jet, a Vampire built in 1947, formerly of the RCAF and owned by the Wings of Flight Air Museum in Batavia, New York, crashed during an emergency landing at Rochester International Airport. F-86A S/N 48-178 is now the oldest flying jet in the world.
