Sometimes, since the runway is rated for them, a BUFF will come back home and shoot touch and goes for a half day.

I hear them, and I know them. And Icget a warm fuzzy.

I always go out and watch them and listen to them on the VHF. They still fly around here sometimes. Makes me feel like a kid.

One of the most amazing things about the BUFF ( and I wish I had the expertise to explain it correctly is, I believe it’s called “crabbing”.. its alibilty to land with the wheels parallel to the runway centerline, whereas the plane is as much as 45 degress offset....everytime I see a clip of this, it blows my mind..
