And no doubt a welcomed site (when it is low enough to be seen) to thousands of ground troops over the years who have been in harms way and needed a little help from above![/quote]
BUFF
Big Ugly Fat F@#$ (or Big Ugly Fat Fellow if your taking to your mother). I tend to doubt that is the official USAF approved nickname.
It is big, never really thought of it as fat (now the C5 or the C17 might be fat), and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
This might have been a B52 that was on static display on McGuire AFB's Air Show this past weekend. If I get time this weekend I will post some photos. The B52 at McGuire was based at Barksdale AFB.
