{"product_id":"flying-in-the-buff","title":"Flying in the BUFF","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe B-52, or BUFF, first flew in the 1950Õs. It has been the backbone of our nationÕs strategic force for decades. Conceived as a long-range nuclear bomber, it has evolved through the years into a convention warfare workhorse as well. It served with great distinction during the war in Southeast Asia, helping to break the resistance of North Vietnam to a peace settlement. It has also been a major contributor during the many conflicts in the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough well beyond what should be considered a normal lifetime of a combat aircraft, the B-52 has continued to play a major role in our warfighting capability. The amazing fact is that it is expected to serve our nationÕs needs for many years to come. Some say the last B-52 pilot hasnÕt yet been born. Nowhere else can you find an aircraft that has contributed so much for so long to the defense of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of one manÕs life in aviation, centered on his involvement with the B-52. In many ways, he and the B-52 matured together.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Don L.
