A low-flying Buff can be a scary sight: the wingspan is longer than the fuselage, and the wings are mounted so that that the Buff looks like a giant scary buzzard hovering in the sky (the wings are so long they even flap sometimes--LOL!)

With the black smoke billowing out of the back and the horrendous noise, Buffs are an awesome, ugly thing to behold.

I used to do field work in NW Wyoming near where SAC had a practice range. Low-flying B52s could be seen frequently. One time one snuck up behind me. Upon turning around to look at it come right at me, looking low enough to touch, it's bomb bay doors opened. I just froze. There wasn't enough time to put my head between my knees and kiss my sweet butt goodbye. It truly was an awesome sight. I remember thinking how glad I was that they and their crew were on my side.

As an engineer, I can assure you that you should be thankful for this. The alternative is to simply have the brittle things snap off.

LOL, maybe that is why they are called BUFFS.
