We at Barksdale considered the "BUF/BUFF" terminology to be embarrassingly "political" in usage. Only the Wing King and his assorted desk jockeys EVER used the term. Never the flight crews or us maintenance crew.

Hmmm...Those of us at the 416th Bombardment Wing always referred to them as BUFFs--with 2 Fs.
