One of the most enduring memories from my youth in eastern NC was watching B-52s from Seymour-Johnson barreling along the low-level penetration routes. With those P&W burners pouring smoke at full-throttle, you could see a B-52 approaching long before you could hear it.

But when a BUFF passes overhear at 200'..... wow.
