Thanks to all my fellow vets, Original Bills Fan, USAF 1966-1970.

Did you ever serve with the B-52s? I'm eternally grateful for the BUFF. We were up-range of them as they bombed the hell out of the Iraqis in 91 ... we could feel the ground shake. By the time we rolled in, they had NO will to fight.

Yes, I worked in payroll [troops really appreciate getting paid correctly], spent time at Beale which was a SR-71, KC-135, and B-52 base, KI Sawyer which was a KC-135 and B-52 base, and U-Tapao Thailand, which had KC-135's and B-52.  You should thank the tanker pilots as well, they give our aircraft nearly unlimited range.

Those B-52's in Iraq were flying 7,000 mile round trips.
