I wonder if there are BUFF pilots out there flying the same aircraft
their grandfather did. I'd heard of pilots flying the very same F-4s
their dads did.
For the 50th Anniversary of the B-52 in Wichita in the Spring of 2002 they were
able to assemble two (or maybe three?) groups of grandfathers, fathers and sons
who had all crewed the B-52. I remember seeing e-mail asking for info on such
unique people in the Summer of 2000 and wondered if any existed. There are
numerous storys about father-son BUFF crewmembers. We even had two in my
squadron at one time. One radar nav whose son was a BUFF pilot and an ol' BUFF
pilot whose son was a radar nav. Kind of interesting.
