Said it before, I'll say it again.

What a truly remarkable platform. The pilots of todays BUFF could easily be the grandkids of the pilots who flew it on its introduction.

What other airframe has had such a longevity?

The Falcon (F-16) might come close, but not quite.

Flew through the air, briefly

The frame is still in use

My dad did avionics on them in the 50s and 60s as part of LeMay’s Strategic Air Command.
