BUFF
The pilot, Capt. Patrick Hook, is much younger than the plane he's flying, a B-52 Stratofortress up at Minot Air Force Base, N.D., on Aug 21, 2006. Hook is a pilot with the 23rd Bomb Squadron, 5th Bomb Wing.
I've always had a cautious admiration for the B-52 ever since one, about 100 yards off the deck, flew over me and my horse just when I was feeling my most late 19th century (as I had been riding old fences for the whole morning and hadn't see a 20th Century thing) until the jet bomber mock strafed me and almost caused the horse to go insane.
