Maybe the most versatile airplane in history..?
at least a top contender.
they have even once I believe landed it on a carrier, believe it or not.
also a U-2 on one occasion.

It's got my vote (even though I HATE riding sideways).
What's that old joke, when the last B-52 is retired to Davis-Monthan, the crew will be ferried home in a C-130...."

I watched an AC-130H working over the DENI HQ in Panama City in the dark of the night. Then came by at first light to do BDA. What 12 hours before had been a multi-story stucco building had little left above knee-high, but there were outbuildings and palm trees that were 10 feet from the main structure that didn't have a mark on them. Incredible fire control precision from a flying platform shooting in the dark.
Puff the Magic Dragon indeed.
