Isn't this a coincidence! I just met with a widow tonight of a man who had 7000 hours in a B-52. He died a year ago, and she is donating all his models to the museum. Nice to see this old bird still going strong after all these years.

One of the icons of American air power. And has adapted well to this day. Thanks Vin.

Well, I was a Security Police Officer all my career. We had b-52s at Griffiss AFB, NY; Seymour-Johnson AFB, NC; and Minot AFB, ND. I'd never heard of them called BUFFs. (My Career from 1970-1991)
We (the "all of us" we) called them BUFs - "Big Ugly Fu....er, Fellows."
Of course, it may have changed after my time as the PC people took over....
L&Ks,
Stew
